1. i need adobe to work 2. i need Minecraft Java to work (i don't think that would a problem, i am addicted to this game from 2011) 3. i need steam to work and i need my Nvidia GPU to work i am new to this whole thing and i just need it to work i hate windows
You really can't handle everything at once because of the first issue alone. You'll need a machine running Windows or macOS, plus another for the rest. Windows has become the standard because there are so many processes built specifically for it—you can't avoid it without sacrificing performance.
1. The situation won’t occur as planned. You might want to explore free options on Windows first before committing, but Adobe isn’t worth it.
2. Java functions equally well on Windows and often better.
3. It operates without major issues, though compatibility on protondb.com can vary—most problems stem from anti-cheat software.
4. Nvidia presents mixed results. It generally works now, but some unusual behavior or bugs may arise. Only a few major distributions lack full support, often requiring manual driver adjustments.
I think I’ll end up with a MacBook Air eventually for everyday tasks, so I might stick to Adobe on that machine.
This trend is becoming more common. People use a Mac for everyday tasks and a console or PC (with Windows or Linux) for gaming. Apple has introduced a game porting toolkit, possibly to attract developers, which could benefit gaming in the future. Minecraft and other Steam games work well, but you might miss features available on a Mac-only setup. If you value those features, it’s another consideration.
My dad proposed a dual-boot setup (what does that even mean?) until I could pay for the laptop (I’m in Israel, tough times...)
You can set it up by choosing the second disk for Windows and Linux, boot from Linux using GRUB, and pick your desired OS at startup. This method works well on my machine but requires two slots. An alternative is to run everything on a single disk with partitions, though updates may cause issues. A better choice is a virtual machine manager like QEMU/KVM in Linux—install Windows via VM, connect peripherals, and enjoy a fully functional OS. If you prefer Bazzite, run the setup command to configure it quickly.
