For the Home (user) partition the more the better, but given the use you have discussed you might get away with another 25-50GB but that is very limited. So, on that basis I reckon you could go with 25GB for the Linux Mint root partition, maybe a little less. ![]() As far as partition size is concerned I find over about 50 per sent full there is a noticeable performance hit when there is much file updating taking place, not so much of a problem if you are just reading files, e.g. But as no one else has jumped in my experience is that you can adjust partitions "after the event" but it is only something I would ever attempt as a last resort.

I have found the main thing from the MS world that can't readily be manipulated in Linux are Publisher and full Adobe Acrobat formats. There are a few features that are not compatible but all the standard functionality is provided. The Open Office/Libre Office software which comes with most Linux distributions will read and write most MS Office documents. I don't know which desktop you are using with Mint, but I actually prefer the Mate variety which has the bonus of running a little faster. I disliked it so much I returned the PC and tried again with Linux, with reasonable success. ![]() I acquired a Windows 10 PC with the intention of using this just to run Profantasy software. ![]() The main thing is you need to do is pick up a newer version of the Wine software than that included in the Mint distribution. Don't know if you have already managed to get your Profantasy software running on Mint yet - if not my notes on an earlier thread on this forum may help.
