The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice (blog.documentfoundation.org)

              Davinci? Yup
Adobe? Not even remotely.
Unreal....yes? I'm pretty sure th development tools still run on Linux at least.
Crossplatform work? As long as it's in the same format from the same application, you should be fine. Just format the drive in something Windows can understand.
Steam? Works flawlessly as do most games now. You will need to change one option in settings, because Steam will by default only show games that are verified by valve to work (most games do though). Your biggest hurdle will be the developers that specifically block Linux.
Non-Steam games? You'll need to do some work, but you can get them running just as well as steam games
Xbox App/Xbox GamePass? Nope.

While I'm pretty sure you're correct on majority of cases, there's still some stuff, like non-steam games, which just won't work no matter what you do. So, on paper these things work but your mileage may vary.
