I 've tried quite a few distros and stopped at Fedora / CentOS. There are many desktops to try out. My favourite is cinnamon on Fedora.

That is true, but generally, the community has really gotten a lot of the kinks worked out. Intel integrated has the mess driver package, Nvidia has both the open source nouveau drivers, and their own proprietary driver, and amd has it's own Mesa packages. So, gaming is going to be a lot easier to transition to. And, thanks to Steam Proton, dev's have more incentive to start working on support for Linux.

Adobe has been pretty ass about Linux support, but that's not because Linux is bad software. It's because of the mere 2.35% market share. That's why the more people that use Linux, the better the software support will get.
