  • Sure

    #!/bin/bash
    DIRNAME=$(dirname -- "$( readlink -f -- "$0"; )");
    cd "$DIRNAME"
    wget -O discord.tar.gz 'https://discord.com/api/download/stable?platform=linux&format=tar.gz' && tar xvf discord.tar.gz && rm discord.tar.gz
    

    Edit: DIRNAME is just to find the script location and download/extract there, in case u call the script from somewhere else

    Mint should be pretty easy to get used to, solid choice IMO, as for the programs

    Word, Excel, ect(I’m fine with alternatives)

    If you’re fine with libreoffice, no problems

    Spotify

    Don’t know.

    Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I’m glad it’s supported)

    No problems

    Brave browser (browser is a browser)

    Not sure if there’s a flatpak, U might need to add a PPA, but it’s just a one time copy/paste a few commands.

    Steam

    Works fine, but some games might not run or require some tinkering, check games u play on protondb.com

    Discord

    It’s a bit annoying because they require u to have the latest version all the time, it won’t auto update, and the package might take a while to update, so u either download and update manually every time (it will be a different install than the flatpak package) or use the web version, peraonally i just run a script to download and extract the tar.gz version when there’s an update.
