Thanks to everyone who replied
I have used LinuxLite for quite some time and like its philosophy of "less is more " and intend to keep using it as I like it.
What got to me is for the last month or more I have been trying to overcome a series of glitches . They have led me into the OS which is not where I want to be . As a user I want an OS to work quietly in the background to allow me to compete the task I want without getting involved.
My last problem was what thought would be another simple task that LL would do easily !
I want to permanently Mount my non-linux partitions . I can mount them OK from the Desktop Icons but they do not stay mounted . I have tried several "solutions" but the option to mount is always greyed out because the mount point is unavailable ?
One of the reasons I fell out with Windows is that it includes too many programs within the OS which I have no need for . I like the idea used in Android of a core which is supported by Apps so I only need to install what I want .
My only gripe with Android is that Smartphone makers install apps I do not want and I can only remove them by rooting the phone . I do not mind them installing apps to make a rounded system out of the box But why do they need to lock them in . Once I buy something it is surely my property to do what I want with it.
