--- Comment #82 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Indeed, it is very frustrating. Though I am a KDE developer, I am also a user
of non-KDE software on Plasma and have to deal with the fact that my family
entertainment machine's samba share is less usable that it is on Windows or
macOS machines. I get it. We all do. It's a pain in the butt.

You need to understand that KDE, like most open-source software communities, is
predominately a volunteer organization. There are some paid developers, but
they are paid generally to work on the things that their employers want.

I agree 100% that solving this problem in one way or another is an important
strategic issue for Plasma adoption. But you need to have patience. If you
(like me) don't have the technical skills to contribute, a more productive
approach would be to try to go find developers who are interested, or start a
bounty of more than $2,000 or so to fund the development, or try to find a
company that uses Plasma internally and wants to sponsor the work.

Etc.
