   moral of the story:
   - fstab is for local, always plugged in storage
   - udisks for removable storage

     @alyx the thing with the issue is that it was not obvious. It was the only thing that could somehow be related. If I disabled, on the fstab, the automounting, the other issue I got was that I'd get 2 mounts on the files app. I fixed this by using udisks2's config directly

     @mischievoustomato
     Did you set up fstab to automount removable storage?
     Also, this kind of thing is why I always disable the fancy splash screen for any Linux distro I use. I want to see the wall of text, so I can see any error that pops up, anything unusual in the boot process.

     @mischievoustomato I just use fstab for both. For removable media I use the noauto option. I also use the uid and gid options for fat filesystems but that seems kind of nigger‐rigged. Maybe I should look into that u‐disk thing.

     and finally, after learning how to configure udisks2 properly, what I set out to do is thus completed. I have to update a symlink, but that's all.

     @mikuphile @mischievoustomato I recall steam being unable to launch most games on external drives until I found a certain parameter that needed to be set in fstab. That was a 6 month running annoyance until I found the answer that got things right.
     How does udisk differ from fstab?

     @dassauerkraut @mikuphile udisks is for guis, focused on removable storage
