both affinity and photoshop run well on wine for me. there are native tools like krita that work well for less complex use cases.

as for office i use some basic macros and calculations and libreoffice works for me, but there are many choices that may or may not work for your friend.

admittedly, software discovery on linux is awful. the app store isnt that good on some distros and theres basically no promotion.
