To be honest, I recommend you stay with Windows. Although I am an avid Linux promoter, it simply does not have the volume/selection of software available that Windows does. The GIMP is an excellant graphics manipulation program, and Corel Draw is available for Linux, but if you generally use software such as Photoshop, 3D Max, Dreamweaver, stay with Windows. My recommendation would be for you to install Linux as a test system and go from there. When you discover that you are becoming more efficient with it, then change to it.
Hope this information helps you.
