Thanks to all who replied.
The right click method seems simple and intuitive to me.
Perhaps I am a bit spoiled and not ready to accept reality.
Using the terminal mode (and even file manager) seems like a definite loss in functionality. Perhaps this is the price you pay for a small system that has simple menus and runs and installs rapidly. I will have to chew on this for a bit to decide what my next step will be.
I was quite happy with Ubuntu until they updated the menus with a new user interface, I see there is now a way to install the old menus interface.
As in many of my battles with life, with your help and combined inputs, I have stepped up a level and am now at a more elevated plane of ignorance.

[LINUX_Newbies] Peppermint Linux is neat in many ways
I tried Peperment , and it has a nice simple menu
and installed easily.
However, when I right click on the desktop to create a
folder, nothing happens. I tired looking at Google and
other search engines and found nothing useable about how to
restore the right-click function.
Using File manager to create folders seems slow and
cumbersome to me.
Does anybody know what is happening.
JustinHello,Maybe
it's because it expects everything to be stored up in
the Cloud somewhere?Joan
