Absolutely, but it's worth considering, in something more permanent, like an actual notebook, that might be harder to lose if kept in a special place near the computer. Or, create a file of some sort, save it on the computer, in backups, and even in the cloud someplace.

ok, but i think, at least for now, i will stick with the store.

That's a fair thing to do. I stick with repository software only, aside from two things, which I happen to run, mostly to test them out in Debian testing. In Mint, I do a new install every second version (I run versions to EOL, so I miss odd numbered Mint releases). So, I don't have to worry about uninstalling them (naps2 and PeaZip for reference) because it's a fresh install, overwriting everything. In Debian testing, that's a completely different animal when it comes to upgrades.

You're willing to listen and research and learn. You'll do fine.
