Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

BONUS: here's some command-line toys that are not useful or necessary, but are just real fun to take a look at especially if you're new to linux:
wow, neofetch is really cool! thank you!
It's mandatory for online boasting.
Thanks for this!
fastfetch is neofetch in C instead of bash, makes it much faster.
Cmatrix,SL and neofetch work on android too through termux, I bet others would too, but I have only tested these two
You forgot the package hollywood.
