It really depends on what programs professionals are using at their jobs though, and I imagine most will just use Windows on a separate work computer and not deal with the random issues with compatibility and troubleshooting

If you're talking about professional VFX tools, then they all have 1st party Linux support. And no, Adobe Premiere and After Effects don't fall into that category.

If its something more simple like Microsoft Word then you could probably get away with using it on linux though.

You can just use the PWA versions of Microsoft 365 Copilot App (formally known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365, formerly known as Microsoft Office). And better yet, LibreOffice is fully supported on Linux and arguably better than Microsoft 365 Copilot App.

Ya. I feel like professional VFX has largely migrated off Windows already.
