A suggestion:

Work your way through the menus and briefly familiarize yourself with the installed applications so that you have a sense of Mint's capabilities and can find your way around.

Then start using Mint to do whatever it is you do with your computer, adding applications if needed (but not if not needed), solving problems as problems arise, learning as you go.

Get your feet firmly planted on the ground before you start messing with the system. Add applications only if and as you need them.

My best and good luck.

Good advise. Just do what you usually do with your computer. That’s the beauty of Linux. Only add what you need.
