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.

I'm not a graphics designer and idk any of the graphics related apps you listed except gimp but everything should work fine as long as it have a native Linux version. You may need to replace Davinci with something else though because it can be a pain to get working on Linux.
For distros, I'd recommend Mint because it's just pretty much the most beginner-friendly one you can get and it's quite conservative but it has very old drivers so performance may not be the best, EndeavourOS (based on Arch btw but quite stable) if you have very very recent hardware or if you want newest performance optimizations (driver versions) and Pop!_OS if you have an NVidia GPU. I wouldn't recommend Fedora or Ubuntu because the first one rushes major bleeding edge changes (including AI) and the second one is known for some questionable choices (including ads and pushing proprietary app stores with poor moderation).
P. S. We do not like clickbait or any other kinds of bait here. Please follow the rules of ethical posting
Thanks, I’m slowing distancing myself from software that are not supported in linux or treat customers as milking cows for ai. At least in graphic design space, I feel I’m getting cornered more and more from people like adobe, microsoft or apple. I’ll check endeavourOs and def Mint!
Sorry for the bait, I thought it was more obvious
You can try the GIMP beta Flatpak.
See instructions how to do this in my repo
After adding the repo, do
flatpak install --user gimpand use the gimp-beta version.They add tons of stuff to it like color profiles and nondestructive filters.

Who gave you the authority to speak in the name of the community exactly?
Nobody. I just analysed the behavior of the community and came to the conclusion that the majority doesn't like it.
