And there’s the typical non-answer I usually get,
a helpful answer would read something like;
To auto mount drives on Bazzite open terminal and type
sudo rpm-ostree install gnome-disk-utility
Wait for-ev-er…
Reboot
open “disks”
select your disk you want to auto mount
you’ll see an icon that looks like a window with a play symbol in it that is “Additionaal Partition Options”
click on it and select “Edit Mount Options”
you may or may not have to toggle user session defaults
check the box that says mount on startup
enter your password if asked and reboot to verify.
And those are admittedly terrible instructions but at least they actually answer the question instead of “just use fstab” like a new linux user would have any idea what that is or what to do with it.
There wasn’t any question asked in the thread I replied to.
“just use fstab”
What I actually said was:
You can just run a mount command for your drive on startup as root.
Which is significant because its less verbose than the fstab

Its not a given that someone would know how to automount disks in X desktop environment. One can’t provide a step-by-step process on something they do not know.
