There's nothing I can't do in Linux Mint that I couldn't do in Windows. Even Virtualdub works damn near perfect in Linux, if you know how to set things up. The only thing I can't do is play games like GTA5. Dual boot solves that little issue.
I will say that if something in Linux fucks up, it can really fuck up.
I edited a system file, attempting to set it up so that a slave drive auto-mounts on reboot. Everything in that single line appeared to be fine, syntax-wise. Rebooted, and I had the most God-awful series of errors I'd ever seen. Almost put the BSOD to shame. The computer was completely crippled and I could do nothing with it.
Solved it by booting from a Linux live DVD, editing that file, deleting the line I'd added, and rebooting. But I understand not many would be able to figure out how to go about fixing an issue such as this.
After that experience, I came to terms with the realization that I don't really need the slave drive to auto-mount that badly.
