Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

Linux has been very good for a long time. It's just gaming that didn't work very well until DXVK came out and Valve started putting a lot of work into it and Wine.
It's honestly been way bigger of a struggle to get pirated games to work on Windows compared to Steam games on Linux. Many of them work straight out of the box with zero tweaks.
I've been on Mint for about two months now. Took some getting used to and there was a pretty large chunk of stuff to learn that I wasn't really expecting (I feel like Linux users tend to greatly oversell how easy of a switch it is), but I've got most things figured out now. AlternativetTo.net has been a lifesaver and has helped me find replacements for most programs I use regularly. Though I still desperately miss paint.net.
Now I just need to figure out why my audio crackles sometimes when I'm playing games.
I've not used paint.net so this might be completely off the mark, but Pinta is a good little paint program which might be a reasonable alternative.
Second vote for Pinta. About the closest thing to paint.net there is for a Linux desktop . . .
Yeah, Pinta is currently what I'm using as a replacement. It's more or less what I need, but the UI is difficult to navigate and leaves a lot to be desired (though tbf that might be my paint.net muscle memory fighting me). I do appreciate Pinta being around though, I've tried other alternatives and Pinta is definitely the best of the bunch, at least for what I'm looking for.
My PC has been running Linux for around 3 years already but my next laptop will probably still be a Mac. Mostly because Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve don't support Linux (I think) and I also kind of want to reward Apple for coming to their senses and bringing back the better keyboard along with SD card reader and HDMI slot. I also just have had extremely positive experience with my current laptop which is my first Mac ever.
My only real issue with Linux is using terminal. I'm just following instructions and blindly inserting commands there with no understanding of what I'm actually doing. There's nothing intuitive about it to me. Zero.
