What are you running? Mine just shows up, I double click it and supply the encryption password and it’s mounted.
(Which could be skipped if it wasn’t encrypted)
So many people do not understand the “auto” part of auto mount, clicking on it first is not auto mount. Auto mount means its mounted on boot not after you click on it.
You can set it to do that. Same as you do in windows when you assign a drive letter, it then will automount that drive. You can do that in Linux in the disks tool
Depending on your desktop environment you can, on linux as a whole no you can’t. Helpfully gnome disks has a nifty button (thats buried under a bunch of context menus) but KDE does not unless it was just added in the last year. (i had to go though a whole bunch of stupid fstab bullshit to get my drive to auto mount when I setup my bazzite install)
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.

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.
