@@WhiteFyre There are some games available for linux, for others you can play windows games with lutris and wine. And nowadays steam can run most windows games on linux and it's a godsend. There is no photoshop however, adobe dislikes linux or smth but you have decent alternatives. I recommend you start with a distro thats well supported and has driver support. Ubuntu and Manjaro are good, but Pop OS has my glowing recommendation, try that first it's very user friendly.

@@WhiteFyre I recommend trying linux mint as it just worked with all my hardware because it has alot of firmware installed by default, cinnamon version(it's easier to configure settings than xfce) The website protondb, has a rating list for compatability. Word and photoshop are no goes, exept if you use a virtual machine, i recommend qemu and virt-manager for best perfomance. you would need atleast 4GB of memory to spare as windows uses 2GB without anything running try finding alternatives to software on the website alternativeto I game on linux for around 1 year so this is limited personal experience, i use lutris for non-steam games and steam's easy to use proton layer. the general rule for gaming compatibility is that if it has anticheat you can't play it. And generally games requiring origin launcher or ubisoft launcher is a no go. Csgo works, dota2 works, tf2 works, overwatch works, minecraft works and almost all indies work. you can also game on a virtual windows machine if wine does not work, there is a guide on arch wiki(pci passthrough) if you dare it, i would not recommend it as a first try, i haven't tried as a have a sketchy oem pc.
