Welcome! I'm about to dive into your links. Seems like we have a few artsy folk around here and it's always fun to see peoples' creations.

Excited to hear about you jumping into Linux, it blew my mind when I first did and I've been Windows-free for a good ten or so years now. Mint's a great choice ...
