Hello all I just started running Linux Mint and I’m trying to install LibreWolf. I ran the commands I was told on the website but it fails every time am I doing something wrong? And how do I fix it thanks!

    As a brand new user, you don’t need to use any commands to install librewolf. Open “Software Manager”, type “libre” in the search bar and install the first result.

      I tried that but it seems to get stuck on the loading screen saying Generating cache, one moment please I’m not sure if it’s just slow or if something is wrong

          It may be worth checking to ensure that your repo mirrors are set to the best ones for your location. This can be done via the update manager.

        Sometimes, the repos(machines where the software is stored) has a hiccup that causes installs to stall and fail. When that happens, I usually give it another try in an hour or so before bothering to troubleshoot. It pretty much always resolves itself when this happens.
