Solitaire and tarballs

Post by clemkonan »

This PC is for my Mom she is not interested in going on the net ,she simply wants to play a few games such as Solitaire. Am I correct Solitaire is not loaded with Mint by default?
I downloaded a tarball of Solitaire how do I install it and how can I place it on the desktop so that she can simply click and play.

Delete that tarball, open a terminal, and enter this:

Code: Select all

apt install gnome-games
