The problem is that Photoshop Elements, Pinnacle Studio, most games, and
hundreds of other programs that folk already use *don't* run on Linux.

The solution is that there are almost certainly other programs that do
the same things. You need to think about tasks rather than named
programs. For some of the commonest tasks, there are even versions of
the same programs for both systems, so if you change systems you can
carry on using what you're already accustomed to.
