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 a bit more context, ncdu is a Disk Usage analyzer that runs in the terminal. If you’ve ever used WizTree on windows, its kinda like that. Really useful to see whats taking up space on your disk
