Thanks, it is not an easy transition to Linux Mint but it is so far manageable. Every few years I keep trying to learn Python, one of theses years it will stick.

I have friends who swear that Linux is awesome

So far it is working for me, there is a lot I have yet to understand about it, but I am sure with use I will become more familiar and it will feel like old hat stuff to me. It is a bit of a learning curve, but then so was going from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 Pro.

It is all new until you are you used to it, then bam easy peasy, you are a pro already!
