That's 90+ pages showing how "easy" it is to set up Samba.

That doesn't alter the fact that people have been using it for years
and years and years and doing so in a manner that's transparent to the
relevant Windows or MacOS users.

I did notice that most of the posts were along the lines of either "Is
WEP or WPA encryption better?" and the answers, or "Thanks for making it
so clear, it was easy to get working by following your instructions."

For setting up file and print shares, 90 pages of explanation of Samba
aren't necessary.

If you have half a brain, the smb.conf file was always pretty self
explanatory. It's very well (self) documented. There have been shiny
happy tools available over the years but I've never bothered.

Stuff stays setup in perpetuity.
