inb4 freetards calling OP stupid

what distro

Most desktop environments use autofs or something to auto mount devices. This is what happens when you go with your Arch tiling windows manager and don't know what the fuck you're doing.

Bro u just plug it in

This. Unix is system designed for programmers not for users. Windows is designed for users not for programmers.

>>51852558
it doesn't matter the distro, linux doesn't work at all.

Really though >>51852608 is right
If you don't know what you're doing why aren't you using a system that auto mounts?

>>51852624
When is the last time you've used either?
Because I do a lot of coding for Windows while I'm on a *nix distro.

What distribution and desktop environment are you using exactly?

>>51852634
If it doesnt work at all, how come we all use it?

>>51852835
because corporate skinned the shit out of it and said "it works better than windows" even though none of us can check our fucking email on the weekends anymore.

linux has a lot of things to memorize and learn

however, once you learn said things they translate very well to most scenarios.
