    Thanks, @spikeyxxx, for the tips 😀! I’m currently on a “Live System” so that every setting change gets wiped out when shutting down or restarting Linux. But I have Blender on a separate stick as portable version 😉. The number of useful programs that are already included in Linux (Mint) is overwhelming 🤗, only the most important is missing (guess which 😉)! With Windows, you have to buy these applications for a lot of money if you don’t find a free alternative which you nevertheless still have to install separately. The “Document Scanner” also recongnized my scanner but for some reason didn’t want to execute the “scan” command. Maybe it’s because of using Linux as a  “Live System”? 

     I know that there is a way to set up a “Persistent Live System” (see for example here) but you need a running Linux system for that. The reason why I haven’t yet uninstalled Windows is that there are some programs that aren’t available for Linux. A “Dual Boot Installation” would help solving this problem but it would take away disk space from Linux and changing later to a “Linux Only Installation” needs some “special treatment”.
