A lot of Windows programs (and games) run on Linux as if completely native (with the speed that somes with that) via WINE but that isn't the case with certain programs.
WinApps
Lets you run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux as if they were a part of the native OS.
- Supports any Windows program
Office 365
You can use the web version of Micro$oft Office
Loffice 365
Run web-based Office 365 in Linux as if it was a part of the native OS
Remember you can use WinApps to run Microsoft Office
ADOBE
Run them via WinApps
Adobe Photoshop through WINE
Runs decently, not as stable naturally so if you don't need production grade tools I heavily reccomend running krita or GIMP instead.
Adobe illustrator through WINE
Simple script that helps you easily install Adobe Illustrator CC on Linux
Alternatives:
LibreOffice
-
Best free office suite and a great alternative to Microsoft Office
-
Compatible with a wide range of formats such as Microsoft
-
Supports extensions
GIMP
- Photoshop alternative
- Those used to Photoshop’s interface should check PhotoGIMP out. It’s a patch that makes GIMP look like Photoshop
Krita
- Photoship/Illustrator alternative
- Looks similar to photoshop out of the box
- You can install addons to add more features
KDENLive
- Premier Pro alternative
- Feature rich
- Very customizable interface thanks to it being KDE software
Inkscape
- Alternative to Adobe Illustrator
Scribus
- Alternative to Adobe Indesign
Ardour
- Alternative to Adobe Audition
Darktable
- Alternative to Adobe Lightroom
Synfig
- Alternative to Adobe Animate
Natron
- Alternative to Adobe Aftereffects
Most of these libre alternatives support Windows too so you can try them out on Windows

Forgot to tag you peeps @communiste @culdrought @tungsten @viva_la_juche any of you made the switch already? 🙂
been playing with some distros in VMs. I'm trying to find an older laptop I had bought my partner some years back that she doesn't use anymore to put maybe kubuntu on to use for personal stuff and use my current laptop strictly for work/creative endeavors.
That's a good idea and you'll end up reviving an old laptop :)
It's going to be a while before i can fully make the switch but i have been booting to my Linux install more often :)
That's great! Hope the posts help a little :)

Haven't had a chance to install on real hardware yet, but I have a USB drive flashed with the Manjaro installer ready to go.
