I’m going to choose a VM.

Tried it several times! Didn’t fix the issue…

I don’t think mintinstall lets you change where you’re installing the program… Interestingly, I ran flatpak search libreoffice again and it quickly returned some packages, which it didn’t do before. Still can’t install anything though…

Linux Mint is supposed to come with Flatpak support by default. Running flatpak remotes shows that I have flathub configured:

Name    Options
flathub system

That said, thank you for answering! I appreciate it, even if it doesn’t solve my issue.

This is not a good method, but…

I think I’d specify an a number… let’s say, 2/3 of the books get to survive, the others will be thrown away. Then I’ll start seperating them into three groups; the ones I become immediately sure are great books, the ones I’m sure are trash, and ones I’m unsure about. Then I’ll go random: if I chose too many books as good ones, I’ll randomly take some of them out, unless I’m sure they are all great books that should stay in the library. Or start randomly adding books from the unsure pile to the ones that get to stay.

Well. Not a great method.
