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

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 get the audio crackle also, been trying to figure it out for a while. Some people seem to have solved it by disabling power saving on the audio card. Didn't work for me but might work for you.

    cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/powersave

    If it returns a "1" then power save is active

    It's been an unfortunately difficult problem for me to troubleshoot since it only happens occasionally. I appreciate the help though, I'll give disabling it a shot (it was enabled.)

    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.

    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.
