How Can I Find Installed Programs on Linux Mint?

Asked by CuriousCat93
I recently got a mini PC to run a Plex/Jellyfin server, and it's working like a charm! However, my memory isn't the best, and I can't seem to remember the names of a few programs I installed via the terminal. Now I'm stuck because I can't uninstall them. What's a good way to see the list of programs I've installed in the past?
apt list installed programs Linux Mint package management System Operations system operations terminal commands

You can list all the installed packages on your system by using the command `apt list`. If you remember installing something recently, you can also check your install history with `history | grep "apt install"`. If you know the command but not the name of the program, try using `which ` to find the corresponding binary.

Don’t forget to check your start menu! It should show most of the applications installed, and you might find the ones you're looking for there.

For a specific command, you can use `apt list --installed` to get a comprehensive list of all installed packages.
