So you’re complaining that you have to click on it - once every two years - when you reboot…

That’s rough, buddy.

I joke. But also, I guess if you feel that strongly about wasting my a click, Linux is definitely the OS for you.

Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine? It’s once every boot. Everytime the machine starts you have to go to file manager and click on it before it mounts unless you modify fstab.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

Just go ahead and google mount drive on boot in linux and you can see the 1,000s of post from people having the exact issue I describe. I’ll even do it for you.

Then go ahead and google the same thing for windows and you’ll see what a non issue it is in windows because even google will assume that surely you meant linux.

  I’m hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.
  
  The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.
  
  At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.
  
  I wasn’t before, but now I am.
  
  I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there’s no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That’s normal in 2025.
  
  If you treat your laptop like a server, that’s okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn’t doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.
  
  An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.
  
  I don’t normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.
