It's A Digital Disease!

So as a Linux Mint user LTFS has always been an dead end due to FUSE issues well I tossed the issue at Warp Terminal and it gave me a solution, a WORKING solution.

So I was like "well what now?" lets start fixing the plight that is the human usablity factor of LTFS for MacOS/Windows users with software that mostly just works.

So heres some images, and heres my working repo, have fun!

(The repo also includes a updated readme that tells you a ton of little issue fixes to actually install ltfs to begin with, enjoy but I can not call this production stable but it mounts, unmounts and writes tapes, but I have had runaway interactions when trying to read/pull files off so do be warned...)

LTO5 tape mounted as a USB drive as far as the local gui file manager sees.
