#Linux tip. First I mainly use Debian based Linux Distro's and that is what I recomend using for a personal computer or a server. These include Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Ubuntu variants like Kubuntu, Zorin OS and of course Debian. Some programs might not show up in your software manager program on your Debian based Linux Distro. So if it's not already installed it is a good idea to intstall Synaptic package manager. It shows ALL deb packages (the file format for programs you install on Debian based systems) in the repository.
To install it open terminal and run:
sudo apt install synaptic
Use the password of the user you are logged in as.
If that doesn't work because you don't have sudo rights (A problem I faced in Debian) use:
su root
(Then use the root password)
apt install synaptic
exit
Now you can install any deb package in your repository w/o needing to use the terminal.
Happy Linuxing.

I actually have Linux Mint as a virtual machine on VirtualBox. From years past Mint was the specific flavor of Linux that I got exposed to.
