I have been installing Linux on a number of my work PCs that I manage. Most of them are pretty straightforward, office products, printing, web, basic video player. But my personal PCs have so many different programs installed for different niche uses that it's been a massive roadblock to me switching over. I know it's coming because I'm not moving to Windows 11 even though my PC is compatible in theory. But man is it going to take me a lot of time to figure out all of the different screen capture, video editing, audio extraction and editing, disc imaging, photo editing etc. I know I can figure it out, but it's about the time. I have a huge steam library too,but most of that should work.
Any of you playing Fallout London on Linux?
OBS (same as is popular on Windows).
I basically never do that sort of thing, but if I needed to I'd start out with Kdenlive and Audacity, respectively.

For a task that basic, most of the time I just use
dd
.GIMP and/or Krita.
I wouldn't suggest GIMP to anybody: Photopea. It is very similar to Photoshop and is a webapp.
Was in the same place, got FOSS soft for almost everything so now I run Mint on my main PC and on my laptop too, with a little 100€ used think centre running photoshop (I'm starting to figure out krita/gimp but pixel editing is a bummer there IMO) and 3dsmax for when I need them.
Edit: no internet connection for that box ofc.
