Yes, it is.
If you are using latex, thin with water. If using enamel, thin with paint thinner.Always read instructions on the can. They always say what to thin it with.
Its its oil based then; Acetone Mineral turpentine (turps) True turpentine Naphtha White spirit Methyl ethyl ketone If its acrylic/water based then water
Turpentine is a natural product used in combination with oils to thin oil paints and "straight up" to clean brushes etc. Paint thinner is not generally as clean a product and I would only use it as a cleaner however I know some people that do use it for thinning paint (commercial oil base house paint) but not for fine art applications.
Linseed oil does not damage paint. Linseed oil is used along with turpentine in oil paints as a type of paint thinner. Linseed oil extends the life of oil paint, makes it easier to thin out, control the paint and paint layers.

Oil paint dissolves in turpentine.

I accidentally spilled turpentine on my painting, causing the colors to smudge. The painter used turpentine to thin the oil paint and create a transparent glaze effect. The strong smell of turpentine lingered in the art studio after cleaning the brushes.
You buy turpentine in a paint store or a hardware store.
Safflower oil is used to dilute oil paint and is the base for many oil paints, but is not a solvent. A solvent dissolves the paint completely. Adding more oil to oil paint will only thin the color out into the solution. To dissolve oil paint use a odorless thinner available through art supply stores or turpentine (preferably odorless, a lot of people have a bad reaction to turpentine). Safflower oil will work if you want to thin the paint but will not clean your brushes.

Turpentine is a petroleum based solvent. Oil based paints work by allowing the petroleum based carrier to evaporate. The turpentine will redissolve the paint and allow it to be removed.
To make the paint easy to spread on surfaces
It depends what kind of "paint " it is.
