I thought there was something a bit odd about that. Possibly it’s because there are two kernels installed (which can be switched between) so it’s offering old version updates for things as well as the latest? Linux is not the clearest when it comes to explaining its updates, but it is still better than Windows – which never explains anything, just shoves it on your machine.

I forgot to answer your question. You do need Python 3, but not Python 2.

If you are running Linux Mint Una, that’s version 20.3, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. That version of Ubuntu only has Python 3.8. You should not install Python 2.7 because Python 2 reached End Of Life on 1 January 2020. If that version of Linux Mint insists on installing Python 2.7, then you should seriously consider installing LMDE 5, or Linux Mint Debian Edition. That’s based on Debian 11/bullseye and does not come with Python 2.7.
