   With the hype around https://endof10.org , I have a question about Linux as main OS.
   I already know Linux quite well, but for my job mostly (programming). However I have almost no experience in using it for what I use on a personal side.

   So:
   - What's the state of gaming on Linux for very old Windows games?
   - What about Photoshop and the Adobe suite in general? (Mostly for my wife who's an artist)
   - Is there a non-Ubuntu Debian-based OS good enough for these usages other than Debian itself?

     1. the gaming is as of today basically better than on Windows thanks to Wine and Valve, especially for older games
     2. Adobe is a lost cause, the suite might never be available on Linux
     best options afaik are Krita, Gimp, Inkscape and Darktable or Rawtherapee
     3. Linux Mint for sure 👍🏻 LMDE specifically
