I recently got an N100 mini PC and I'm using it as a Plex and Jellyfin server, which has been awesome so far! However, I struggle with memory issues and can't quite remember the names of a few programs I installed via the terminal, making uninstallation a challenge. What's a reliable way to see the programs I've installed in the past?

There's a pretty handy resources page on Linux that could come in useful! You might also find some extra tips on how to manage installed software in forums. Just remember to take regular backups and, if experimenting, try it out in a VM so you don’t mess things up. Understanding commands before hitting Enter is crucial!
If you want to see all the packages installed on your system, you can use the command `apt list --installed`. It will give you a complete list of everything that's currently on your Linux Mint machine. If you need to find more recently installed packages, running `history | grep "apt install"` can help you track those down as well. Also, if you know part of the command but not the exact program name, you can try `which ` to find the path of the executable.
Check your start menu or 'All Applications' section; it should display most of the programs you've installed. This is a quick way to browse through what's available without having to dig through the terminal.
