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.

unless youre using Photoshop or Adobe as a senior youre just barking at tree.

That's the point. The problem is that it doesn't require the user to be senior to run into issues, it just requires them to be a professional user who has to collaborate within an industry that is standardized around some specific propriety software and people expect formats from that specific software.

You know its not only Adobe apps... it's Autodesk, MS Office (because advanced features aren't available on the web version), Circuit Design Suite (Multisim and Ultiboard) and every other field specific application that isn't available under Linux or that has alternatives that while viable for an amateur user won't just cut it if you spend 8h/day within those applications and you're expected to collaborate with others who also do it.
