In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Telegram on Linux Mint 22. Telegram is a popular messaging app known for its speed, security, and cross-platform support. By following these steps, you'll be able to enjoy Telegram's features on your Linux Mint system in no time.

Why Use Flatpak for Installation?

We'll be using Flatpak to install Telegram. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. It offers several advantages:

• Sandboxed applications for improved security
• Easy updates and rollbacks
• Consistent runtime environment across different Linux distributions

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Let's break down the process into two main steps:

1. Adding the Flathub Repository

First, we need to add the Flathub repository to our system. Flathub is the central place for building and hosting Flatpak applications. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

This command adds the Flathub repository to your system if it doesn't already exist.

2. Installing Telegram

Now that we have the Flathub repository, we can install Telegram. Use this command:

sudo flatpak install flathub org.telegram.desktop

This command will download and install the Telegram desktop application on your system.

Launching Telegram

After the installation is complete, you can launch Telegram from your application menu. Look for the Telegram icon in your list of installed applications.
