Can people not read?, I never said gnome should be default in fact I stated clearly that it was just the tool I used. I said drives should mount on boot by default because it's basic functionality.

Oh, I thought you meant that gnome disks should be installed by default.

I said drives should mount on boot by default because it’s basic functionality.

Usually it's something you set up during installation. Linux philosophy is "don't do anything the user doesn't want to do". If someone wants to mount a drive he/she will set it up. But again, this will depend on the distro. There's no default for every possible Linux setup.
