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! 
fastfetch is neofetch in C instead of bash, makes it much faster.
I have always felt that the speed of neofetch is the bottleneck of my productivity.
