And there's the typical non-answer...

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

a helpful answer would read something like; To auto mount drives on Bazzite open terminal and type...

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.
