Find a well-supported distro (Debian, or Debian-based like Ubuntu and Linux Mint, is ideal - highly stable). Then go through your applications and look for Linux equivalents, or see if the companies behind the apps offer a version for Linux.

I've been running Linux Mint Debian Edition (not Ubuntu-based) on my laptop for almost a year now. It's now my go-to machine for pretty much anything I do outside of my gaming PC (which is also getting Linux Mint soon).
