I'm considering making the jump from Windows 11 to Linux on my laptop since I'm a full-time content creator. I primarily use programs like Clip Studio Paint, FL Studio, Vocaloid, Synthesizer V, Adobe Suite, and Zbrush. Additionally, I rely on my Yamaha PSR-373 piano with MIDI and need proper drivers for that. I also use Super Display to connect my Samsung tablet as a drawing tablet, and I'm utilizing the Meta Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop. My main concern is finding a way to use all my essential software on Linux without needing to switch back to Windows for some tasks. I'm not very tech-savvy and realized I might be mixing up terms like program and software. Any advice?

Honestly, you might want to think twice about switching. A lot of the programs you need may not work well on Linux, especially through Wine. Some might not run at all, and that's a hassle you probably don't want to deal with in your workflow.
Just a heads up, you should definitely specify things like your Linux distribution and any hardware specs when asking about tech issues!
But to answer your question, you're right to be concerned. Windows software usually runs best on Windows, and while you can try to get them to work with Wine, it's not always the most reliable solution. If you love your current setup on Windows, it might be worth sticking there and just tweaking privacy settings to de-spyware it.
You're jumping ship from Windows 11? Just curious, why's that? There are definitely issues with Windows, but some software relies on it being there.
And yeah, I get it, people have their reasons for switching.
