@Martin,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s completely understandable to feel a bit overwhelmed when starting something new, especially programming and Linux Mint. The great thing about learning is that you can take it one step at a time.

You’re definitely not alone, and we’re here to help you at every stage of your journey. It’s never too late to start, and with patience and practice, you can absolutely learn and apply Linux Mint and Python at a comfortable pace.

Don’t worry—take your time and ask questions whenever you need. We’re here to support you!

I have always wished to understand and apply programming at a very simple and basic level. Therefore, please advise me whether I would be unable to learn and use Linux Mint, programming, and Python3.

If this is the case, I will willingly withdraw as a participant.

Thank you.

The python package in arch contains /usr/bin/idle.

There is no desktop file created for it, though, so you either have to create your own under your home directory or launch it manually.
