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!
For me it’s (outside of the usual stack):
https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper (Input-Remapper, if you have annoying proprietary thing you want to re-bind this is an amazing way to handle that)
This project made Linux viable for me, and I have not looked back at all.
