Prefer cross-platform compatible solutions over platform-specific workarounds

When the user encounters a platform-specific limitation (e.g., Windows requiring registry tweaks for guest Samba, or Linux requiring config for unauthenticated access), they consistently prefer the solution that works uniformly across all their devices (Windows, Android, Mac, iOS, Linux) rather than per-client workarounds. In the Samba case, the user accepted setting a smb password on Linux over forcing guest access via Windows registry, because credentials-based auth works cross-platform. In Tailscale work, the user similarly favored auto-approvers and tag-based config over manual per-node setup. When proposing solutions, lead with the option that works on every client the user has, even if it requires a small extra step on the server side.
