No, you don't open the Software Centre.

What are we, cave men ?

This stanza has everything you need to know about lame distros (Debian ecosystem).
Some distros have "religion", the participants put a bag over their
head and they remove "universe" and "multiverse". You, put it back.
You update the package listing of the distro with an update command.
Some distros remove "synaptic", in an effort to trick you.
You put "synaptic" package manager back -- which is just fine, thanks.
No need for pillow stuffing via the ponderously slow Software Centre.
Jebus.

   sudo add-apt-repository universe
   sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install synaptic
   sudo synaptic

Packages are also available from places like github, if you want to
"offroad". But the repository has somewhere between 25000 and 50000
pieces of software, reasonably secure and ready to go. If you go
outside the distro, you are responsible for the security posture
that brings with it.

Next, someone will be telling us that SNAPs are wonderful, when
all they do is waste disk space. Imagine Ubuntu shipping a 6GB DVD,
and when the install is finished, important utilities are missing
because "there wasn't room". And the SNAPs on the DVD that
took up all the room ? The OS re-downloads those, as a punishment
for you. The SNAPs are monolithic, not modular.

That's what your friends are for in a distro -- they tell you
where not to step into pooh.

The Linux Mint DVDs are around 3GB. If the DVD is getting a bit
old, then you can expect around 1GB of updates to install
soon afterwards. But these are small packages being repaired
one at a time. Packages are for making the update system
more economical. A Firefox or a LibreOffice, those are
bound to be a bit bigger than some support library.
