@romain that is exactly what i have done up to this point, i think my knowledge of linux configuration “mirrors” your own. I dont plan on this rebooting very often so I am probably worrying about silly stuff as i wait for my mic and pir to come in, then i am going to have real issues lol. Thank you for the reply.

This worked for me thank you. There is a delay from when it boots up and MM starts, is there any way to reduce that time so the desktop never shows?
