I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

Its the same as windows but the amount of OS specific help youll find is lower since less people use it. It helps to figure out which version of linux your distro is based on and look for help with that instead to broaden the results.

For example on my popos station I usually search for Ubuntu help, and on my endeavouros system I would search arch help.

The good thing about linux though is its all the same ideas just packages slightly different, kinda like learning slang.

Start with the terminal, how to open it and where it is, then how to move around the directory (usually CD, with a few modifiers for moving up or down), list directory contents so you can "see" them, and manage it with removing or touching (creating) objects or folders.

Then figure out how to install packages, this should have a mint specific page for it though. Every dostro has a few things they explicitly explain and package mangement is almost always one of them.

They will likely list a few different methods, test each of them out with some apps you planned on installing already, or just find safe test ones to add and remove.

If you have time though you can figure this stuff out as each hurdle appears, rather than speed running them, but this is how I would approach a new linux distro at first.

Also dont be afraid to scrap it and try something else if you decide its not working for you. I ran bazzite for a week before changing to endeavouros and I'm very happy I did.

Edit to add: for crack specific stuff, honestly there doesnt seem to be any sort of segregating the legal and non-legal communities when it comes to linux. Feel free to look or ask in the same places you would ask for legitimate support, but do be careful you dont get into the habit of blindly trusting any script posted in a YouTube video.
