It really depends on what you want to achieve with your system! You should start by exploring the tools already included in Mint. They can give you a solid foundation. Once you’re more comfortable, think about specific tasks you'd like to tackle, then search for the right tools for those. Most software can be found in the software center or through the package manager. Check out Flatpak and APT packages, they cover a lot of ground!

That’s true! Learning with the pre-packaged tools is a great way to understand the system better.

Exactly! Once you've explored those, you can branch out into more specialized tools.

For more general advice, just remember: the best way to learn Linux is to use it regularly! Experiment with the built-in tools, then advance to installing new ones when you're ready. You’ll be amazed at how much you learn along the way!

You can use the package manager (APT) and the Software Center to install most applications. Flatpak also has a large repository of apps. Make sure you browse their libraries; you’ll likely find what you need there.

Great tip! The community often shares useful packages that aren't in the main repositories.
