Generally not: most programs on Linux are packages, which could be relocatable. However few are setup to allow relocation. In particular, systems (such as Mint) derived from Debian do not provide relocatable packages. RPM-based systems may include some relocatable packages.

Further reading:

• Relocatable Debian packages (like rpm prefix)
• Run time installation directory of debian package contents
• creating relocatable packages with dpkg
