I'm considering switching to Linux, probably Linux Mint, but I'm unsure whether it will work well with creative applications such as Blender, Krita, GIMP, and LibreOffice. Some comparisons have suggested that Pop!_OS might be a better choice, although I've also heard claims that it could require age verification. Is there any meaningful advantage to choosing Pop!_OS or another distribution for this kind of software, or would Mint work just as well?

Mint should be perfectly fine. It and Pop!_OS are both based on Ubuntu, so creative-app support is broadly similar. The bigger differences are the desktop experience, included software, community support, and whether you want to try Pop!_OS’s newer COSMIC desktop.
You don’t need a specialized distribution for these applications. Fedora, Mint, Pop!_OS, and most other mainstream options can run Blender, Krita, GIMP, and LibreOffice without a major difference in capability. Pick the desktop environment, package management, hardware support, and overall workflow you prefer.
