Can you run Adobe software via proton? As soon as that works I'll be on Linux.

Look at your usecase, if it really requires adobe suite, you are out of luck i'm afraid. Perhaps you could research running a VM or wine, but I havent tried any of that myself.

If you conclude that you dont need features exclusive to adobe you might be able to find a foss alternative.

It works very well, especially if you pass through your GPU and storage. I can even use this setup for Gaming, no significant performance loss compared to Windows. It's awesome.

I need Lightroom and I've tried Darktable but it just doesn't cut it.

No, but there are better alternatives to adobe that don’t hog your ram harder then triple a games

Depends one what you need to do, there are some areas in which adobe still has a monopoly
