For those of you considering switching to Linux but feel that you need to keep paying that hefty $50/month fee to Adobe to use their software that you have grown to love, then I think you should read this because we need to ween you off the teat of Adobe. Save that $50/month ($600/year) subscription you are paying for and put it to better use. Just like that fee you are paying Microsoft for the ability to type a paper.
The following are popular alternatives that are of really good quality and often "better". I will add feature lists at the bottom for some of the listed software.
These programs are also mostly if not all cross-platform (win/mac/Linux) so you should be able to get used to them on Windows first.
Adobe alternatives:
Adobe Premiere Pro: OpenShot and Lightworks
Adobe Illustrator CC: Inkscape, Bloom, and Vectr
Adobe Dreamweaver: Eclipse, Brackets and kodeWeave
