thank you, I will do that but my question is why does bazzite not have its own simple default install command to use in a terminal like all other distros?

How do I automount my second drive
Well, I have had another go at Bazzite and using the distrobox as HikarKinght suggested, I installed git/yay which I am used to using in Arch, and ran them through an Arch distrobox I setup and I now have all the apps running and, the external drives are ok now. I have no idea why they were running so slow last week. Was just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to work. But Im not a quitter, Bazzite is good. So I took a break, came back to it and everything seems to be working well, thank you ❤️

How do I automount my second drive
No, what I mean is with Arch, there is total independence on what apps I can install. I dont need to be restricted with apps then be told oh but you can use the distrobox. When in Arch Linux, there is so much freedom with what I can install, I simply do not even need any distrobox. I can install kde partition manager, gnome partition manager, disks, gparted, all from the terminal. Yet in Bazzite, your locked into only being allowed to use the worst ever partition manager and have to use distrobox to install, then even with that, the ones I did have to put through there, were trying to use other apps to open up. I had to go in and edit that out. I mean my home media server was trying to open using kate lol. And with some app, the only options I was stuck with were AppImages where there is then complications with no personalized launch icons on panels and I couldn't edit the launch scripts and can not manage their updates. I still have Bazzite installed as the single OS on my laptop, I am using Arch from an external drive and once I have caught up on tings, I will go and play around with Bazzite and see if I can figure whats causing the external drives to be so slow. It took 5 hours to transfer 2 gig from the internal drive to an external, yet yesterday in Arch, I transferred 60 Gig from the internal to external in 5 minutes! So I proved there is absolutely nothing wrong with these external drives.

How do I automount my second drive
I have gone back to Arch Linux. I still have Bazzitte as my single OS on my internal drive but have installed Arch onto the empty external and am booting into that as my main until Bazzite matures and doesnt have these issues that I have had, bar the brain fart with using kdepm. I had NO issues like I have with Bazzite getting everything up and running. There was no excuse for the issues I had setting up external drives with auto mount nor permissions nor them running so shockingly slow. Plus I had issues trying to install software because Bazzite doesnt have the same freedom as Arch with software and a lot more is available on the Arch Repository. I had everything up and running within hours, yet it was a week of pulling my hair out with Bazzite. I understand measures put in place for "security" BUT it feels too constrained, almost as bad as windows. I LOVE the freedom and ease of good old Arch Linux. I will watch Bazzite though for updates ❤️

How do I automount my second drive
I have got it working. I feel so STUPID. In KDEPM I was trying to enter "edit mountpoint" from the top menu with the device highlighted in the left window. But looking in the right window where it lists the devices partitions, I right-click in there and voila, I got the edit mountpoint option, chose the /var/mnt/games/gina mount point, it updates fstab, I reboot, it auto loads, I ran the chmod so I have permissions and Hooray, it is working. Thank you for being so patient with me. When the pressure mounts with the whanau screaming at me to get it working again I wasnt thinking clearly.

How do I automount my second drive
I have multiple external drives so I created the folder opened terminal ran "sudo mkdir /var/run/media/gina/" then ran "sudo chown gina:gina /var/run/media/gina/" I then create the subfolder for one of the drives: ran "sudo mkdir /var/run/media/gina/planete" ran "sudo chown gina:gina /var/run/media/gina/planete" I then add this to the etc/fstab file since I can not use KDE partition manager: UUID=0FC30EF90FC30EF9 /var/run/media/gina/planete ntfs errors=remount-ro,defaults,users,noatime,nodiratime,umask=022,nofail 0 2 I reboot and then get in Dolphin: "The file or folder /run/media/gina does not exist" So Im thinking maybe I dont but in the "var" so I also created those folders. I reboot and then get in Dolphin and still get: "The file or folder /run/media/gina does not exist" No matter what I create, it says its there after I do it, but on rebooting, it all disappears. Answering your post. Since it was auto-mounting using system settings ticking auto mount but I had permission issues.
You said to unmount it so I can then "edit" in KDE Partition manager. So I unmounted it in KDE Partition manager and it disappears completely in KDE PM. So I selected "safely remove" in Dolphin. Now when I reboot, it doesnt show up anywhere. not even in "lsblk"" or "sudo mount -a" I have never had this much trouble before with auto mounting external drives having used Mint, Manjaro and Arch.

How do I automount my second drive
ok thank you. Do I need to have auto mount options set in system settings under devices? This has put them under /run/media/gina when I am reading that they should be auto mounted under /var/mnt/games.

How do I automount my second drive
NO, this is what I am saying. PLEASE listen and help. I need my external drives mounted so I can get the home media server working, the kids are now screaming at me to get it sorted. KDE Partition manager is the worst ever partition manager. If I could use the one I had on Arch, I doubt I would have this issue. I will repeat what I said "Right click on the partition and click "Edit Mount Point" Is not highlighted. I can NOT select this option. why not??? I have also tried doing it in the system settings. it them seems to attempt to mount them to /run/media. I have tried sharing and giving read write access but I seem to be bashing my head against a brick wall no matter what I try But the thing that is very annoying is everyone by default will simply quote this article when it is of no good to me when that option is not even highlighted. I would much prefer to use the Gnome partition manager but that is not an option is it.

How do I automount my second drive
I have been here myself and also still need help because I went here adn it says right-click and select edit mount point. The option in KDE Partition software is not highlighted for me to select it. I have the external ssd mounted but this option is not available. I would rather use KDE Partitioner to set up auto mounting than attempt to edit the fstab myself

need xxx more space on the / filesystem
I didnt see the file below it lol ty. Now thats why yt-dlp is familiar. I used to use that with a command line prompt to download. Its good yes but not as good as 4kVDP which allows you to "subscribe" to channels where you can download all current videos then when something new is uploaded, it is automatically downloaded. I love this feature since I download to add videos to my home library using the HMS app above so I can watch them on the tv
