Hi.
Linux does take som time and effort to learn to use because it is so fundamental different from what you're used to in windows. I know because back in the XP days I considered myself a "power user", but I still had to spend time re-learning how to do stuff in Linux when I started to install Linux onto my computers for permanent use.
The nice thing in your case is that it will probably run faster by orders of magnitude, compared to the windows installation. At least my old computer does so.
LL like other Linux distros comes as a Live-CD, so therefore some of the things you ask about is possible to test without installing it to the computer. Also that will also tell you if the particular hardware runs smootly on Linux.
The Adobe conect should be able to run via web interface, read more at here.

Adobe have decided not to create any locally installable programs for Linux (i.e. you won't find photoshop for Linux).
About "programming experience" - I will assume most schools - if having programming classes - that will probably (sadly) be dependent on a MS platform (dot net, or similar). Not neccesarly, but probably.
Or they may be teaching javascript or Java - or just use some programming environoment that is platform independent.
I know this is an issue because I have myself being in a school situation wher I was prompted to write a formal letter as home work. So I wrote that using Libre Office and sendt the .odt file in return. Just to get the feedback that the file wasn't accepted - it had to be a "word file". That may differ from school to another.

I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux
