For Linux Mint, you can use the Ubuntu ppa to install get_iplayer -
instructions here:
https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/12/get-iplayer-bbc-tv-ubuntu/.
I mainly use get_iplayer on a headless Raspberry Pi, and use PuTTY on my
Windows desktop to ssh into the Pi to run GiP, and have seteup Samba on
the Pi to share the GiP downloads folder to Windows. I also use tmux to
run multiple simultaneous instances of GiP on the Pi. I used these
instructions to install GiP on Raspbian:

FWIW IRC I've only ever used it on MINT/xfce/rox setups! Works fine for me.
Can't recall the details of installing but I think it was one of the simple
'direct fetch and build' commands to get it from the web.

My first mistake (possibly) was installing Linux MINT, I had played
around with it on a friend's machine, and it looked simple enough, of
course when I go to the next step and try and download get_iplayer,
there isn't a build for MINT. So before I go about installing a
different build, I thought I would ask the question.
So first question is what version of Linux do you suggest for
get_iplayer, just for ease I would prefer one with a window's type
desktop.
