Your / mount point is on /dev/sda7
Do a reinstall and make sure your mount point is on /dev/sda1
There's no need for a separate /home. When you do your reinstall, don't set a mount point for home.

Just put it down as a learning thing :)

Hello everyone, I just installed Linux Lite OS for the first time on my old Compaq Presario CQ5210F that had Windows 7 installed. I previously installed Linux Mint 19.3 Xfce but had some problems with the Nvidia Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 video card crashing occasionally. I figured Linux Lite OS might be a better distribution for this old computer given that the Nvidia driver 304.137 appears to be unsupported now. Anyway, I boot up Linux Lite for the first time and this is the desktop environment. I'm new to Linux and I'm wondering why the desktop looks like an old Windows 95 lookalike. Can someone give me an explanation for this? Thanks in advance.
