Welcome to our community @Cherry_apple

Grab the Cinnamon ISO from Download Linux Mint 22.3 - Linux Mint

Flash it to an 8GB+ USB with Rufus (rufus.ie), then reboot and tap your boot menu key to launch it.

Try the live session first, then run the installer on the desktop.

Back up Windows first. You’ll do great!

So … is your issue that you don’t know how to download

  • PDFs?
  • Application packages?
  • Destop themes/icons?
  • Use streaming music/video players?
  • actual Distro?

I’m a bit confused as to how to reply because your question is a bit vague on your specific issue.


If you just want general guidance and references on Linux/Bash in general, this other post has many detailed posts that cover various different aspects of the very wide scope of what could be your intended target. You need to pin it down for people to help you specifically.
