Can I use my Windows programs on Linux without issues?

If you have a powerful enough computer, you can run Windows in a virtual machine like VirtualBox while you're on Linux. This is one of the most straightforward ways to maintain access to all your essential software without leaving the Linux environment.

If you absolutely must have all your programs available, sticking with Windows might be the best choice, as much as that pains me to say. That said, you could try creating a live USB of Linux Mint to explore some alternatives. Wine can let you run some Windows programs, but it might take some tweaking, and not every feature (like pen pressure in drawing apps) will work perfectly. You might also want to look into using a virtual machine for Windows apps, though I can't say exactly how easy it is since I've never tried it myself.

While you might be excited about switching to Linux, relying on Wine to run creative software isn't always a reliable solution. A more dependable option would be to run a Windows virtual machine in your Linux setup. This way, you'll have access to your apps just like you do on Windows.

Don't forget to explore software alternatives available on Linux! Check out alternatives like Krita for illustration and other tools that might fit your needs perfectly, helping you transition more smoothly.

Good news! Many of the apps you mentioned can work with Wine. Here's the breakdown:
- Clip Studio Paint: Can work with minimal adjustments.
- Paint Tool Sai: Possible, but Krita is a great alternative to consider.
- Realistic Paint Studio: Not much info, but trying it out could be worth it.
- Notion: You can use a semi-official Linux build without Wine!
- Scrivner: Generally runs well under Wine with little hassle.
- Rebelle: Can work, but some features will need extra work to configure.

So, overall, you might be able to run most of your tools, but others will require some legwork or looking for replacements.
