If you need Adobe products i would recomend staying on windows. Unfortunetly geting anything Abobe to work is extremly hard, so unless you want to spend hours getting photoshop just for it to break on the next update then its probably not a good idea to switch. The other stuff you listed shoud work fine.
Often its to learn about how a linux system works under the hood, also Gentoo can theoreticly have a small performance boost (tho on modern hardware its extremly small).
The "get a better computer" response to slow software is unfortunetly more and more popular especialy among game devs.
"Our game runs like **** on your 2 yr old top of the line pc? Just get a 4090 and a 13900k. Its not our problem that the game eats 21GB of VRAM and takes up 700GB of storage."
Troubleshooting for the average person is where it’s a bit harder.
I never undestood that point, i hear it quite a bit but for me its always the opposite. On linux if something dosen't work i can usually see a detailed log of what went wrong. On windows its usually an error message with barly any info, stuff like "Error code: 0x72AF9B5D1" or "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" isn't very usefull.
