Im seeing these posts twice a day at this point. So someone like myself who is totally ignorant on Linux, I have some questions if anyone can lend advice?

I’ve been on PC windows for over twenty years now. And I use it mostly for video software like davinci resolve. Adobe software workflow. Unreal engine. I use clients harddrives and often times my own for working off of. And often times will send those harddrives to other people and their computers to finish the work. I also occasional play games on steam and Xbox App.

With that said, is it even possible for me to switch over to Linux and keep using all the same software and workflow I have for high end video production workflow?

Davinci, yes but it can be frustrating to set up.

Unreal, I'm pretty sure yes. I don't see why not. I think it takes effort to setup though.

Adobe, No.

You might unironically want to go for Mac. Either the laptop or desktop XD
