Yes. It looks like this:

canonical fixed the keyserver issue, so it all works now.

Mint 18.3 is ubuntu 16, which is what I run.  qtpovray installs clean. yay.

I switched to Linux last year. I see no reason to go back to Windows. I
need Windows for Quicken and Turbotax; I run my old Windows 8 in a
VirtualBox window to access them.

It includes the last published POV-Ray 3.8 alpha that was tagged.
The only difference would be in the default locations of files.
Instead of /etc/povray/3.7 , I use /etc/qtpovray/3.8
Similarly, /usr/share/povray-3.7 becomes /usr/share/qtpovray-3.8

The main features are described here:
