From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just mount it to a fixed location in
/etc/fstab, but use a mount option likenofailornobootwait(quick search showed that this is the option for ubuntu users), so your machine still boots when the drive is not connectedis
/fstaba folder? Or do you mean change that actual file?/etc/fstabis a file that controls auto mount points at boot. You can read about it with the commandman fstab, or search up how to add something to it in a search engine. There are plenty of resources to help you online with creating a mount in the fstab.But be careful, you can pretty easily break stuff by messing up fstab
Easily? Just don't go deleting things and you're probably fine.
