You can use Gnome Disks (gnome-disk-utility) to edit fstab via GUI. I've been using this for years and never had to manually edit fstab even though I can.

You, my friend, is a lifesaver! Every search result point me to using terminal to edit it, and of course i edit it via word editor and access fstab using file explorer, i only use terminal to get the uuid. Imo it should be accessible via the setting, but gnome disk would do too.

Glad to help! To be fair, a lot of tutorials do it on terminal because it's consistent for every distro out there. However Gnome Disks is stupidly easy and that's why I like it. I install my system, I install Gnome Disks, then switch to manual option and set automount for my other drives and that's it.
