The Dolphin file manager in Kubuntu (I tested this in Kubuntu 21.04) does not ship with the Mount ISO option in the right-click menu, but with the help of the dolphin-plugins package, we can add this and many other features.

To get this working, we need to install this package.

Enter the command in Konsole to install the package.

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
sudo apt install dolphin-plugins

Here is some information about the package (run `apt info dolphin-plugins` to see this in a Konsole window).
