It's not clear if you used the linux supplied texlive or texlive 2024
installed from the upstream tug.org

If you installed  texlive2024 from tug then you can install polish
hyphenation patterns with

tlmgr install hyphen-polish

or possibly you need

sudo tlmgr install hyphen-polish.

If you installed your linux system texlive you manage it with your linux
package manager which (I think) is apt on linux mint
so something like

sudo apt-get install hyphen-polish

or a larger collection such as texlive-lang-polish see
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/tex/texlive-lang-polish
