  This article is more for a headless server. Any DE is going to present disks to you. And if some odd quirky drive doesn’t, you go into the disks app and click the play icon on the drive you want to mount

    I’ll say it again “auto mount” if you have to click on it first it’s not “auto” thats “access” mount.

        Never happens unless the drive is unformatted or a format windows can’t read. And if it is unformatted you get a pop up telling you so and an offer to format it which after that point it mounts on boot everytime without any interaction needed at all from the user. If it is already formatted it just automatically assigns the next available drive letter and mounts it. Linux just does nothing until you dig around in context menus and even after you format it it still won’t auto mount until you dig around through more menus or go through the ridiculous ftsab bullshit.

  I think people are confused because the difference between mount on access and mount on boot is meaningless for 98% of people. I can think of reasons to need the latter, but not many.

    You are probably right, most folks aren’t even aware because they have no need for it. The only reason I need it is for my gaming rig that launches big picture mode on startup. I have no need for it on any of my desktop machines.
