Hey everyone! I just got Linux Mint Cinnamon installed last night, and I'm really excited about it. I've been migrating my stuff from Windows, and so far I have Firefox, WhatsApp, and Steam set up, which is about 65-70% of what I had before. However, I'm struggling with some apps, like Scribus. I tried downloading the .exe file from their site, but nothing happened. I also attempted to install it as a Flatpak, but I'm not sure how to run those either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked the Software Manager for Scribus? You can install it from there. If that doesn’t work, just run `sudo apt-get install scribus` in the terminal. If it can't find it, we can look into using the AppImage instead.
You don't need to download .exe files for Linux! Just install apps directly from the Software Manager. It makes everything a lot simpler.
Remember, .exe files are for Windows. Always use the package manager for installs. Try running `apt update ; apt install scribus`.
Once you install a Flatpak, it should show up when you search for it. If you're having trouble with it saying it needs a program to open, we can figure out which app might help.
