Isn't there a way for emacs to automatically detect file types, other

Not really, unless each file has the same syntax (see below).
Vim
auto detects .inputrc, but emacs doesn't. Vim doesn't auto detect
.xinitrc, but emacs does. Funny.
That's just because they have special statements to recognize those file names
in their source code that someone contributed.

2. Configure the variable auto-mode-alist. For example, you could do
this
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.inputrc\\'" . conf-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("/\\..*rc\\'" . conf-mode))
