> NFS mounts are supported in macOS natively

..and MacOS lets you mount an nfs share ootb as a user. On linux you need an fstab entry for that though that is really not an issue at all.

How you ask? You do this with the mac specific command: mount_nfs Here is how I use it to mount shares from my NAS. $ mount_nfs -o nolocks,nfsvers=3 /home/nas/myshares/nfs /Users/bob/nas/nfs

You don't need an fstab entry on linux. You can just use the `mount` command.

mount -t nfs ...

or, if you're in the gui -- command-k, then type nfs://server/share
