Is it a good idea to go for Linux as a game art student?

Hi! I’ve been wanting to try Linux for a long time (I’m currently on Windows), mainly for what you might call ideological reasons (privacy, etc.), but also because of the fantastic customisation tools available on Linux, but I’m wondering whether it might cause too many problems in day-to-day use when it comes to common graphics software. I already know that some software simply isn’t available (such as Photoshop, though I don’t use it anyway as it’s too expensive). So, as a 3D artist, would you advise me to switch to Linux straight away, or should I wait a bit longer?
