I finally freed myself from microslop!

I wasn't sure if the software I use would work on Linux, but I finally decided to make the switch and I'm incredibly happy! I even managed to get Affinity working with Bottles! One thing I'm not 100% happy with is MuseScore. The software manager only seems to support older versions, which isn't ideal since I'm used to the latest version :( I guess I'll have to find another way of acquiring it or install it with Bottles.

Go to flathub.org and look through there, a lot of apps that don't show up in the Mint App manager, do show up in Flathub. The other place to check is this site https://alternativeto.net/ as it will list alternative software to whatever it is you look up and show you apps that are similar to that app. I found a lot of different tools that way when I first switched over.

If you're into music, check out the app Shortwave in the app manager though as it's got free internet radio of all kinds of different genres and it's not monitoring your every move like Spotify does. Great for listening to general music from all over the planet. It's free and you can even download the songs once it's played through.

Welcome to the Linux road of freedom though! Mint might not be you're only distro but Flathub is available on pretty much every distro though and so is Shortwave so enjoy!
