I'm not actually a beginner but I'm sure plenty who are have come across 
this problem many times...and I cannot find an explanation anywhere.

After installing packages with software manager, some open up 
immediately, others are accompanied by an icon but many just seem to 
disappear. They are installed but there appears to be no way to run 
them. I have tried terminal and package manager to no avail.

One would think that such an elementary operation would be one of the 
first things that would be explained but it never seems to get a 
mention. Why not?

I'm using Mint 19 and 20.1 at present.
