These ways are:
1. Right click on the program in the menu.
2. Linux Mint Software manager.
3. Synaptic package manager.
4. Command Line
- Standard way: sudo apt-get remove program-name
- Remove a program and its configuration files: sudo apt-get purge program-name && sudo apt-get autoremove
In my opinion, the best option for an absolute Linux newbie is to remove a program with right click in the menu or through the Software manager. The Synaptic package manager is the best option if you are more experienced user and you want to have more control over your system. I personally use Synaptic package manager most of the time in my Linux Mint.
The Command Line is the hard core option to remove a program in Linux Mint. This is the best way if you want to learn how to use the command line and you really want to learn Linux.
These were 4 ways to uninstall programs on Linux Mint I know about. If you know more ways to uninstall programs on Linux Mint, please leave a comment below.
