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.

Linux was actually first (by a good decade) when it comes for "graphical package manager" - or, in other words "AppStore", but without credit card link and price tags. In Linux we had it back in late 1990' while in Windows and Apple it started to appear I think around 2010.

You don't need the terminal for most things and if you expect to use linux without learning anything new your going to struggle just as I did learning my devices weren't supported and my applications didn't exist on macos.
