I'd use the Finder to browse files, and for that it is terribly slow. Also without extra config in SAMBA it does litter the whole disk with DS_Store crap. I remember it was very slow that way, but have set up extra config in SAMBA (pear extension I think). Its extreme slowness may also be related to the workarounds to avoid that crap being not fully correctly configured. Also copying is comically slow, to get 4 files totaling 50kbytes can take 20 seconds sometimes. Same from a windows laptop takes sub second time.
Overall I'm underwhelmed by MacOS/iOS, this being one minor annoyance in the list. Windows and Linux both perform well and work well out of the box with my proven simple setup. (No AD)
Samba in MacOS might speed up things, but I bought that machine to get stuff cone more effectively than from Linux, and so far it didn't prove its value. Right now I'll not bother with that, as I feel that would have even worse OS level integration.
Thanks for the advice nevertheless, much appreciated.
