Yeah, like it's just an alternative operating system and usually is running on 86x, so you can easily install free software. However, because of linux politics, you can't use such apps like Adobe Photoshop

Actually, Adobe programs use a DRM system, which doesn't work when being run in Wine. So you can't use it.

This is also the same case with Office.

However, there are Linux native replacement apps for them. The GNOME Project developed GIMP, which you can use instead of Photoshop, then the KDE Project developed Krita, which is a drawing software, and Kdenlive, which is a video editor. The Document Foundation also have LibreOffice, which you can use instead of Office.
