> if you want to run Office and Lightroom, run typical python data science code, what else is there? A colleague tried the Windows Linux system and it kind of works but not well enough for what we're doing
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch
The answer to Office/Adobe/gaming is simply don't do it, get someone else to do it, or get a different job. Your time is better spent on stuff like python data science, which Linux supports better than anything else out there.
If you must, run Windows 10 in a VM. If you're doing heavy duty video editing or Photoshop, get a second GPU just for the Windows 10 VM[1].

I am not sure recommending someone to get a different job is a good idea simply because of the choice of their operating system... I'm a huge linux fan, both of my personal laptops have linux and have been using it since 2006. But I still know that realistically it's not the best OS for certain tasks, like gaming. That's why my gaming PC has Windows on it.
