So, I jumoed into called water and installed Centos 8 on my laptop with Gnome desktop.
I could almost find solutions for all challenges along the way (even getting nextcloud-client auto startup), but are left with one issue.
On CENTOS 7 I plugged in my USB stick and it would automount on my desktop.
NTFS is not supported in Centos by 8. But I was able to compile ntfs-3g. I now can at least mount manually.
Is there a trick that I can have the same functionality as in CENTOS 7 and get it outmounted and visible on my desktop?
Thanks Wolfgang

Re: NTFS support
I had same problem after compiling ntfs-3g. And could only mount manually until I made a symlink in /sbin
mount.ntfs -> mount.ntfs-3g
mount.ntfs -> mount.ntfs-3g
Re: NTFS support
Yes, it stands to reason. In 7.7 the ntfs-3g rpm has these files:
/usr/bin/lowntfs-3g
/usr/bin/ntfs-3g
/usr/bin/ntfs-3g.probe
/usr/bin/ntfsmount
/usr/lib64/libntfs-3g.so.88
/usr/lib64/libntfs-3g.so.88.0.0
/usr/sbin/mount.lowntfs-3g
/usr/sbin/mount.ntfs
/usr/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
/usr/sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse

/usr/share/man/man8/ntfs-3g.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/ntfs-3g.probe.8.gz
The highlighted ones are symlinks the last one pointing to /usr/bin/ntfs-3g. I guess that the automounter detects ntfs and starts looking for a command having the name mount.ntfs and when it doesn't find one quits.
