Hello! I understand your situation. You're using Linux Mint for a year and want to install apps just for one user account without affecting others. This can be tricky, but here are some steps you can try:

1. **Use a Single User Account**: Make sure the app is installed in the same user account that you want to restrict.
2. **Group Management**: If you need to share certain apps across users, consider creating a group and assigning permissions carefully.
3. **Package Manager Settings**: Check your package manager (like APT) settings to limit installation scope.
4. **Custom User Configuration**: Use `sudo` with specific user IDs or create a custom user profile.

If you're still having trouble, feel free to share more details about the app and your setup! Let me know how it goes. 😊

Programs aren't designed to be available to every user. A method to limit access is creating user groups for program permissions https://askubuntu.com/questions/8149/how...ther-users
