Yes and no. Ill be frank, as someone who tried and quit L.Mint once (and tried it again 5 months later), its not for everyone.


Gaming usually works perfectly fine. Heck even with mods. Tried an old VN, Stardew (with mods), Retroarch and more. You prob wont be able to play many western MP AAA slop though (why dont you boycott these anyways?) If you rely on Sai2 or Photoshop, give it up (unless youre a VM wizard with a comp that can withstand it for long hours daily). Theres alternatives, but for many thats like telling someone to learn a whole new skillset. Sai/Sai2 is the lightest of all drawing softwares. Super simple and effective. I tried to "Wine" it into Linux Mint but while it works it has a lot of hickups. Photoshop is completely un-useable. BTW... For many art programs, even Aseprite... On L.M. the thumbnails arent the program's icons by default there (wtf). Like instead of the block icon for .aseprite icons its like a transparent PNG. Bit weird.


My best tip would be to dual boot: 2 diff drives or 4 drives (1 per OS + 1 storage drive for each). Youll run into a lot of headaches trying to make it work (so Windows doesnt "takeover" the Linux Boot order) if youre not too computer savy, but its worth it and youll learn. The same way you tell people making a game in RPGMaker: DONT consider your first project "THE GAME." Accept that its a dummy/test where youll pile up lots of mistakes. Thats okay, "hopping distros" or resetting the OS is easy. :) So its okay to make mistakes, youll learn. You can also try L.M. from a USB (called LIVE environment) but its not "the true experience" as youll feel a little bit of lag/some stuff wont work.


Ifranview & Foobar works. For MPC-HC youll need the QT vers. Nemo's file explorer doesnt natively show a folder's content in its icon. Not efficient... Mint is great! But theres drawbacks too... As an artist ill be permanently stucked between w10/L.Mint. Try it yourself anon. But keep a foot in w10 just in case.
