I find the drive letter thing amusing... since Unix did it that way long before DOS even existed!

Mint is my go-to Linux of choice, but it's not perfect.
I've been using basically every OS under the Sun for years, and I'm currently rotating between Win98/Win10/Mint/OSX. Mint is really just usable for most workloads today. Aside from games working fine with Proton or Wine (I've played even Cyberpunk 2077 under it with slightly better performance than natively under Windows 10), it's somewhat slowly been getting support for more "serious" applications. The newest Photoshop that I can run without an error under Mint is PS2018; newer stuff just breaks in nasty ways. As long as things like Adobe software remain the industry standard, it'll be hard to switch away from at least dualbooting Windows. That to me is a bigger problem than just the drive letter/number confusion
You can install up to date Wine for Mint. There's an instruction for Ubuntu/Debian on the Wine site. Although there are newer ways to run some Windows applications.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
Can you have auto-changing per-monitor desktop background on Cinammon like on KDE?
I've no idea if I should try another distro or go for newer KUbuntu at some point. Plus my PC is just becoming more retro with time. AMD Phenom II X4 920, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 6 GB DDR2 RAM.
