If you need to run closed software like adobe photoshop, you can do that from linux in a virtual machine running windows 7 or 10; and then link up your virtual machine to linux file store using the shared folders function of virtualbox.

Or, depending on the version of photoshop, you might be able to run it with WINE.

I use WSL on Windows 10 to run Ubuntu. It's awesome and works almost flawlessly. It makes my dev environment so much smoother and easier to use, and I get access to bash :)
