This seems like the way that and maybe an immutable. Mint is just so damn intuitive which is why I keep going back. Nothing else makes a machine work with you than mint. Others you have to work against.

I still believe my ask is on point. Some distros like Ubuntu based move system folder locations every few years. I don't like a changing pc. I hate having to keep up with things. I'm a jump in and know how. I do wildly appreciate your XY link and think ultimately I do that often none the less. Thanks.
