I use KDE Neon on my laptop and I’d prefer to have KDE as a DE on this one too (if possible) but I don’t mind a non Ubuntu base. Basically I’d just like to be able to play games on it without much hassle but I know how to paste commands into the terminal if the need arises.
I faintly remember having to deal with that. There’s a built-in “Device Auto-Mount” app that may be able to help with that without messing with fstab, assuming the drives are recognized.
If you happen to remember what it is called it would be appreciated. I had to install Gnome Disks in order to get it to work because the default KDE disk manager wouldn’t do it even though there was an option for it (greyed out).
