From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would you need a Linux “distribution” that was just illegal copies of Windows applications?
If you are going to pay for MS Office, Office 365 online works great on Linux actually. If you do not want to pay for office, I would personally use LibreOffice or Only Office even on Windows.
Adobe runs notoriously poorly on Linux. If you need real Photoshop, you should run Mac or Windows. Otherwise PhotoPea, GIMP, or Krita may work for you.
Games are mostly working great on Linux these days ( pirate copies are not going to run any better ).
