From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As a brand new user, you don't need to use any commands to install librewolf. Open "Software Manager", type "libre" in the search bar and install the first result.

I take that back I don’t know what I done to fix it but it’s working now

You either added their apt repo and installed it via apt, or you installed the Flatpak
