I need to figure out which programs I use are and to be used on Linux and if there are distributions I should focus on.
Some include:
Adobe CS6 Suite (last own-able version of Adobe suite)
Luminar Neo
Davinci Resolve
Those are the main ones. There are others obviously but those are my main productivity programs.

I didn't think you can get cs6 on Linux. I'm sure there are clunky work arounds.
Maybe using Wine?
That's what I was thinking but I just use windows for windows things and last fucked with wine over 10 years ago. I'm out of my depth.
I haven't messed with it much either; if there's something that's windows-only and not too resource-heavy, I'll usually fire up a VM
I play a lot of games at home so my main rg is Windows and my work uses windows too obviously. My main server is Linux but I have a windows server too. As a result I do most of my development in windows with vscode.
It's good to have options. And WSL is actually pretty damn fire. 🔥

CS6 seems to work best with Arch + wine.
Don't know the others but don't expect to be productive with them:

Either check out native apps if they might work for you or keep a Windows VM around and hope GPU pass through forks.
Resolve will work on most distros I believe, I have it running on Mint.
Affinity Photo (You own the copy) is a great replacement for PS.
