I’m not sure what field you’re in and photoshop certainly is the standard but Affinity has been great for my needs and is pay once if you’re looking to avoid SAAS

On the support side, there are enterprise distros (red hat) but the community support honestly is top notch. I know windows has support but I’ve never really needed it day-to-day or had a situation where having access to support on Linux really would have been helpful.

Development side - I find Linux outpaces windows for what I do, plus a number of tools are just built in. Plus Jetbrains IDEs are Java anyway and run fine there.

Browsing, i assume you mean the web? This is functionally identical.

I personally like Linux cause it’s tracker-free and more customizable. I prefer ZSH to power shell and I like that my desktop and server are running the same platform preventing strange bugs between environments.
