       @JenJen It should be available in the software center already installed on your desktop. You can download it from there :).Did the person that helped you install Linux showed you how to do that?

       @JenJen This is probably easiest: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.3/gnulinux/appimage/dl/ -- then download it and, if needed, right-click in your file manager and make it executable, then click or double-click.There are other options, like flathub, or your distro repo, but those are more complicated.

       @halla @JenJen I honestly strongly advise against doing this. Inskcape is available inside Mint repositories. It is the simplest and safest method to install it.

       @Sylvhem @JenJen Um... Sure, sure, sure. But you forgot to tell Jen_Jen how to actually install stuff from the Mint repos, preferably without using the terminal?Without telling people how to use those "repos", and without telling people why you are advising against using the project-provided, signed, safe download, you're just confusing people.

       @doctormo @Sylvhem @JenJen Yeah, well... But try to explain that trying flathub gives this:

       @doctormo @Sylvhem @JenJen What software manager? Where do you look in that software manager. What is a flatpakref file? I've used Linux since 1993, and _I do not know_.

       @halla I did it just there: https://eldritch.cafe/@Sylvhem/116353800945407986. And yes, I didn’t explain why it’s better to use the software provided by your OS in this post because @JenJen was simply asking how to install Inkscape. She didn’t ask for an impromptu course on the subject of software management.

       @Sylvhem  But you didn't explain how to install inkscape? Or did fedi's federation just not show me your tutorial?

       @halla I told her to look into her software center and asked her if she knew what it was. That’s the starting point.

       @JenJen Hi Jen. Notepad++ doesn’t exist on Linux, but there is a lot of text editors to choose from! You probably have one called Xed already installed on Linux Mint.If Xed is not working for you, can you tell us about the features you are missing from Notepad++, so we know what to recommend you?
