That's quite a newbie issue, coming from a windows user. As on windows You're the administrator and You can do whatever, wherever, it's weird to me that permissions are so complex on linux. Is there a way to easily edit system config files by some text editor, without having to bother with terminal?

On mint you can right click a folder and open as root / admin. That may allow you to edit system config files iirc. Just be careful and make backups before poking around in there.
