I thought it'd be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

I installed mint yesterday and am having a PAIN installing anything not in the software manager. Currently stuck on teamspeak as my first thing to try. Got a tar.gz and can't find anything well explained online (as of yet, it was already 3 hours just to get mint to dual boot and I was exhausted)
Can't say for TeamSpeak, but will say for Linux: setting everything up and figuring out your steps in edge cases is the hardest part. Once you figure it out, it gets so much easier.

Niw you are doomed and there is no going back. Welcome to the gang;)
I'm on the other side of the coin, I really don't know how I'm supposed to learn to use the terminal. I can do sudo apt get to get some programs and updates, as well as mv and cp, but that's where it stops for me.
