If Trump says you should vote for someone thats an obvious sign they are comprimised and should be removed by force.

Hey thanks! this is actually helpful. Why KDE can’t just have this as well is a mystery but oh well I’ll try Gnome.

I hate fstab it seems needlessly complicated but I like the gui you got there. Much easier to click a button and move on with life. I’ll have to give that a go.

What desktop environment/distro are you using? It would be nice to be able to skip the fstab run around and just click a button.

Well good news freecad has a flatpak so its super easy to install on linux. you might even find it in the built in package manager. https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.freecad.FreeCAD

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

Unless they remove local accounts all together or disable shift F10 in the OOBE this should work, it just sets up a local account through command prompt in a similar manner that lusrmrg.msc would.

That said I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they remove local accounts altogether next.

In this case the space before net won’t matter but it does make it more consistent. The space before the “/” however will matter.

If they did it would make all the bullshit I typed earlier entirely pointless, and honestly I hope its true because having to do all of the just to get a local account is ridiculous.

Hey I’m with you, at this point it seems like a losing battle to stay secure on windows and it will only get worse. But some people will want to keep using it for whatever reason. As long as I have the ability to assist them I will, freedom of choice is important even when the choice is a bad one.

No, they aren’t. The only people I ever here say that are angry linux fanboys complaining that people won’t use their preferred distro. This guide is for the people who want to do such a thing. If you don’t want to then don’t no one cares. Use Bazzite or Mint if you think linux is too hard.

Honestly that is the best approach if you are able too, but this guide is for those who can’t or won’t for whatever reason. https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is also a great resource if you want to customize it further.

I haven’t had any issues with any of the the games I play. For example recently I’ve been playing Driver San Francisco and all I had to do was tell my system to run it using proton and it plays, no weird configurations or workarounds needed. I have even had some games that were so buggy on windows they would randomly crash that ran like they were native on linux. RAGE for instance always gave weird memory errors on windows but on Bazzite it just worked. I am fairly anti social though so I don’t play any online games so I can’t vouch for those. I’ve heard older multiplayer games seem to work fine with a few work-arounds. If you look up guides on how to get things running on the Steam Deck they usually work for getting things running on Bazzite as well.

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.

Sure, but you had to click on it first. It didn’t mount on boot.

I use my secondary and tertiary drives for steam and I boot my machine to big picture mode on startup so I need them to auto mount. Having to navigate to the file manager and clicking on them is not the same.
