Adobe applications is the only thing on your list that's really really non-Linux. It just won't work. If there's a web version of it, then it will, but desktop versions, absolutely not.
You can dual-boot: when you turn on your computer, you'll have the option to boot into linux or windows. You could boot into windows to do your adobe suite stuff and into linux for everything else - many games work on linux (if that's what you're into). Just check https://www.protondb.com/
There are a lot of dual-booting tutorials out there. Linux is just a core component of the operating system, but the things on top like desktop environment, window management, package/app management, configuration manager, default apps, look and feel, etc. are bundled together into "distributions". For beginners, probably Linux Mint and Ubuntu are your best bet.
You can even look up hardware compatibility using https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search_computer . But the easiest is to pick Linux Mint or Ubuntu, find a dual-booting tutorial, backup your windows data, and install the chosen distro.
cool man, thank you and @[email protected] for the helpful repsonses.. i'll check out the dual boot option.. also i wouldn't even mind using a remote access tool to access a standalone windows based pc if i really needed to.. im getting tired of their ship
