I'm about halfway through reading the book and this is how I find out there's a show! Feels hard to imagine this being anything more than a miniseries, but heck I'll take it.

For some, particularly businesses reliant on software that can't perform on anything but Windows (and occasionally MacOS), sure. For individuals it is much easier. Installed Linux Mint a few months ago and I set up a VM for the stuff I truly needed some form of Windows for (tried dual booting for a bit but found that inconvenient). None of these are insane lengths, unless the cutoff for that is, "anything above minimal effort."
I'm pretty new to Linux (currently on Mint) and I have yet to get Easy Effects to work. I'm certain I'm the problem, but I've tried following guides and videos, yet as soon as I try using it, my friends on Discord say my audio becomes garbled and robotic. One of these days I'll sort it out. One of these days lol
Not always an option, unfortunately. By "picked up" I meant if you need to save, close, and eventually someone else picks up the work where you left off. Incredibly common in collaborative settings. I may start a Photoshop file, get to a good point, but then it has to change based on the work someone else is doing. Another person has to open that file and make updates accordingly. If they couldn't find and edit the file because I told them it was done in Photopea or GIMP, that would mess things up.
Affinity is a viable alternative to Adobe, whereas Photopea and GIMP are more suitable for individual needs (although it'd be kinda cool if a practice set itself up to use those from the ground up).
Building a PC this week and putting Mint on it after a lifetime of Windows. Gonna leave a little bit of partition available in case I absolutely need to dual boot, but I'm hoping anything that comes up can be resolved with Crossover, still need to run a trial for that. I was hoping SteamOS would come to desktops in time, but alas.
A lot of people skip the fighting traffic part of their hygiene routines and it shows smh
