Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can’t have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I’ve looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I’m not sure what to do.

One of the other applications I use is Sync (sync.com), It’s an application to sync your files from a folder to the cloud allowing me to switch from my to laptop (what I can’t run most things on) and then I can still access the files on the go if I need to send them to someone.

I also play plenty of games on Steam but not all of them have native Linux Instances. I believe Proton is actually helping bring non-native games to Linux which is a plus as really wouldn’t want to lose access to playing them.

Any advice on how I can get using Linux without losing these sorts of functions or do I have to wait till Windows annoys enough people making them all move to Linux first?

    You shouldn’t base your choice of distro on the desktop configuration you want. Any major distro can give you any of the various desktop layouts. Sure, their defaults may be different, but Linux being so configurable means that any other layout or environment is just a few clicks away.

    Just choose a major distro (so you get regular updates and support when needed), and go with it. Linux Mint is a popular choice for beginners. Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora are all good choices. Then find out how to set your desktop to the configuration you like.

      @a@kbin.social Thank you, I knew that you could change your Desktop I just didn’t know how easy it would be to change it. But I will have to give it a good go and maybe use Linux Mint as heard some good things about it.
