If you have them as Linux versions, yes...

Since you run Debian on your service, you might find it easier to run
a Debian-based system on your main pc. Ubuntu is Debian-based and it
widely recommended as a good place to start for Linux. It is several
flavors that differ mainly by the look and feel, the "desktop
environment" so I'd suggest picking among those.

I doubt Adobe programs can run, but there's a WINE that tries to allow
stuff like that. You could check their list of programs to hear from
people who have tried. It's usually a better approach to see what open
source, native Linux software can accomplish the same tasks. Today, so
much is done through websites, that using Linux isn't much harder than
Windows.

wrong sub, try r/FindMeALinuxDistro.

generally speaking, adobe apps and linux don't mix unless it's a web
app. don't waste you time trying. same for ms office.

[Mint Linux](https://linuxmint.com/download_all.php) is often
recommended as an excellent beginner distribution. It's based on
Ubuntu, which in turn is based on Debian, so it should feel familiar.
Try the Cinnamon version, it's the most polished. (The "Edge" version
is only needed if the regular Cinnamon won't boot on your hardware.)
