I could purchase this, but I'm about to give up.

All I wanted is to create a share in my pi, and didn't expect it would
be so hard. I have some knowledge of Linux left, as I followed a course
in SCO Unix years ago.
But this is so bloody difficult, and due to the relation between Windows
and Linux.

I use the pi as a pi hole in our LAN and that works well. Tried to
create a share just to see how it works. No luck.
