Unfortunately if you can’t afford to take time to learn new programs you’re most likely going to have to dual boot. As someone who also does creative work, and had been pretty dependent on Adobe prior to moving to Linux, I can tell you that trying to run any of the Adobe programs on Linux is a fool’s errand. Photoshop kind of works in Wine, but the rest are just plain unusable.

There’s also winapps, which essentially uses a VM to run Windows programs while integrating them into your regular Desktop in a seamless manner. I’ve never tried it and it hasn’t been updated in 2 years, but you could give it a shot.

If you do decide to try out alternatives though, DaVinci Resolve is good for video editing, Photopea (which is a web app) is pretty goddamn similar to Photoshop, Inkscape is pretty good for vector graphics, and Ardour, Audacity, and Reaper are all good in different ways for audio work.

@carlytm Cool, I think I will try to run Windows through a VM other than learning 50 other software to do my functions atm. Especially as it would allow me to Sandbox any setup I know is slightly more risky in the future. But thanks for the suggestions.

That appears to be an old repo. https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps they moved here.
