When we launch Dolphin, we see a pane on left side listing both mounted and unmounted partitions. If I click on any partition, I can view it but I do not get permission to write to that.

As a regular user who is the only user for this PC, how can I set it up so that it gets mounted on clicking with full permission?

I have read just now that if I give myself ownership of a special file called ‘.’ (just the dot without quotation marks) in the partition I could achieve this

Wow… just.
Also, reads like an AI wrote it.

Why the ‘wow’?

Because I think the level of understanding you’re at, you shouldn’t be tinkering with stuff. You could wind up doing more harm than good. Sorry for the snark, it seemed amusing.

They should be tinkering around. The more they break, the more learning opportunities!
