Just installed it via package manager and I’m trying to get my brain around it. Anyone out there have any experience or tips for running WireShark on Linux Mint? Thanks so much!

It’s better to run it as not root, which you can presumably do on Linux Mint by adding yourself (or another user account) to the wireshark group after installing the package. See https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges and https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/raw/master/packaging/debian/README.Debian for details.
