I would be really interested in learning where you heard that Samsung was not compatible with Linux. Nonsense like that needs to be repudiated.
Some years ago there were problems, because with some brands/models you need mtp, and it did not work well. I have a samsung phone; using the usb connects the flash media to the computer directly, apparently. Ie, the phone umounts it, the computer mounts it. Later the phone has to mount and scan the card. File transfer is reliable and fast, with any tool (like 'mc'). Phone can not be really used while connected. My cheap tablet uses mtp instead. It is unreliable: sometimes it dies in the middle of a transfer, but it can be restarted. But other times it dies completely and (nautilus) takes hours to recover. When it works, the tablet can be used simultaneously. However, I can only use the desktop main file browser, not 'mc' or the cli. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
