I recently installed Linux Mint and I'm diving into learning Linux. I'm curious about what tools would be helpful to install and where to find them. Any suggestions?

The best way to learn Linux is by using it! Check out the pre-installed tools that come with Mint and start experimenting. Once you get comfortable, identify specific tasks you want to accomplish and find the tools that can help you with those. You'll be amazed at how much you can learn in just a year!
It's important to note that asking about 'tools' is pretty broad. Think about exactly what you're trying to do with Linux. Once you have that nailed down, it'll be way easier to find the right software!
Yeah, a specific question will definitely help!
It really depends on what you want to achieve! If you're looking for general tools, you can use the package manager (apt) or the Software Center in Mint to find what you need. Both repositories have a ton of options, plus you can explore Flathub for Flatpak packages. Just think about the tasks you want to perform and go from there!
Thanks for the tip about Flathub! I didn't know about that option.
Right, focusing on what you want to do first makes sense.
That's a solid point! I guess I need to figure out my goals first.
