Hi Mark,
I'm on Mint 18.1 Cinnamon which is basically the same so to include
newest darktable and calibration software Guillermo mentioned you go to
a terminal and type:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pmjdebruijn/darktable-release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y darktable
for the latest darktable and
sudo apt-get install -y argyll gnome-color-manager dispcalgui
for the calibration tools.
For scanning with my Coolscan 4000 film scanner I use Vuescan

Hope that helps

Hi Mark,
Mint 18.2 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, this means the core components of
the system are the same. In principle you should be able to use the
same procedure described for Ubuntu to install any software on Mint,
Darktable included. As Ubuntu is in turn base on Debian, you can also
use instructions for the latter (many times you will find instructions
for "Debian based" or ".deb based" distributions). Of course, there
are some programs that have problems because some particularities of
each distribution, but most of the time you'll be fine.
For monitor calibration software you could go with the basic software
included in Gnome, but I would recommend DisplayCal (very powerful,
although a bit overwhelming on first use). For scanning I use XSane (a
bit old but very complete). I'm not aware of any distribution that
includes them by default, but both can be installed easily on
Ubuntu-based distros.
Regards,
Guillermo

Brand new to linux, and looking to add darktable. I am currently
using Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon with the 64 bit os. It has gimp,
but another lightroom replacement that is not non destructive.
With my limited experience with linux, it might actually be easier
to change the distribution. The ideal distro would have Gimp,
Darktable, some form of monitor calibration software, and some
scanning software.
Assuming that isn't available, I don't see the code necessary to
type in the box for Linux Mint. It may be there, but its highly
possible I don't know that mint is a form of something else and to
type that code. Thank you for your patience for someone so new,
and I appreciate the help.
Mark
