And to make live a tad easier, I created a custom action for Dolphin (in KDE), so I can right-click an .iso file and select 'isomount'. For this I created a file called /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/isomount.desktop with following content:
If anyone else finds this useful, then maybe someone can write a custom action for Thunar and maybe this could be added to MX 21...
