Automatic mounting (cache,swap) Is this a mounting error or feature ?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to figure our the reason for this behaviour.
As you would notice that all my folders are getting mounted.

Cache
efi
Filesystem root
home
log
swap

when I click on "home" it throws back an error saying this cannot be "unmounted"

Please notice the drive indicated "Toshiba" is an external drive which i use for timeshift only.

kindly help. I am new to linux so if this is dumb question please don't pile on me for not R(ing)TFM. kindly direct me to the link from where I can read more on this topic. Sorry and thank you.

Please replace the oversized image w/ a link, the board has a 250x250px max rule.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Partitioning
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab

idk what filemanager that is but most would in their default configuration not even show those "internal" mountpoints.

Also you won't get "piled on" but please understand that you're very much expected to rtfm - and "hihijustanoob" isn't an acceptable excuse for failing to do so (see the stickies in the newbie corner).
You also would have come across those wikis during the installation process…
