I see you're using Linux.

On my SuSE Linux box with xfce this Samsung device appears as an icon on
the desktop once plugged in. I click that icon to open a window which
mounts it. (If it doesn't try right-click 'mount'.) Once I click to open a
folder on the window it pops up asking permission on Android. Unless I'm
quick, after granting permission I need to refresh the window. You should
then see your files (but not all files on the device).

The device is configured for USB debugging but I don't think that affects
any of that.

I can only speak from my own experience with relatively new OS versions. I
connect the cable and the phone will start to charge from it. I pull down
from the top and see the message "Charging this device via USB". I tap the
message and it expands and shows "Tap for more options" so I tap again and
a menu opens up but the only important thing here is that I select "File
transfer/ Android auto" At that point my host system "sees" the phone and
treats it like any other data source for copying data back and forth. I'd
guess that it would work similarly no matter which desktop OS you were using.

Yes, I remember my last tablet, a Pixel C, used to connect like that. This
Samsung GT S6 lite is much easier. Whether that's the newer Android (13)
or a Samsung difference I don't know.
