Is there a way to delete mint on my ssd and install a new distro or even just download it straight from mint?

Steam proton was enough to move me to Linux on my home desktop

It plays enough of the games I want to play and Lutris fills most of the rest. Easy anti-cheat is the only thing in the way for me at this point.

I hope Valve find statistically enough people took advantage of Proton to continue development, it seems regardless of user base percentage they're dedicated to the project.

(Noob Question) Why Linux only have 3 permission groups?

Why Linux only have owner, group and others as permission groups? What if the user want a more finer permission control? For example, assume user A belongs to group B and C, how can he/she allows a file to be readable, writeable and executable to group B but only readable to group C?

ElementaryOS

Hello.
I really like the design of this linux distro. And as I understood, I have to pay for this OS. So questions are:
1. Is it worth as OS?
2. How is gaming (I mean Dota 2 + Blender)?
3. Does it support crossfire rx 570 8gb?
Thank you and have a nice day. 🙂
P.S. sorry for grammar mistakes and non logical sentences.

Just discovered GraphicsMagick.

I didnt know this existed. I've used ImageMagick and alot of utilities Ive seen that have a backend tend to call ImagickMagick. Though apparently this is a faster program and has a stable consistent API and update system. (RE: http://www.graphicsmagick.org/FAQ.html#how-does-graphicsmagick-differ-from-imagemagick)

I loaded it up and it looks and feels similar to ImageMagick.
Havent tested it thoroughly, so I cant say much (other than IM gracefully tells me it cant read a DICOM/Kodak RVG (Encapped DICOM) image and believes it's a JPEG), while GM segfaults on it

me@home:~/Pictures$ display R1.rvg
display-im6.q16: Unsupported JPEG process: SOF type 0xc3 `/tmp/magick-7452EBP-VrhRXeWJ' @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/322.
me@home:~/Pictures$ gm display R1.rvg
gm display: abort due to signal 11 (SIGSEGV) "Segmentation Fault"...Aborted (core dumped)
me@home:~/Pictures$


However, that's a probably an oddity use case. For general uses does anyone who does more image oriented tasks have a deeper take on this? Also any field exerience setting this as an update-alternatives replacement or alias (for drop in replacement that default to IM noscripts that do large scale image conversion)
