Probably not. Some of your software may work in WINE, which is "not an emulator" but can run some native windows software in Linux, with some success.
Companies, right now, do not often have the resources or inclination to hit the single % market that desktop Linux users have.

The one thing to consider is the mindset of "Windows, but free" Which linux is not.

There are plenty of programs to do the things that you can do with the software that came with your printer and digital cameras. However, they may not be the exact same thing you are familiar with.


Also, there are really no "viruses" for Linux. Linux CAN get a virus from a wine install, but it will only screw up the wine install and applications inside that. The designs of a secure system prevent a properly managed one from being compromised. It would be best to not run scripts you are not familiar with and not run as the root administrative user unless absolutely necessary and if you are familiar with how to do so.

I would suggest you try OpenSUSE. It is relatively easy, and has enough familiarity with a good community as well. You can, if you like, use a virtual machine (creates a virtual computer that is really a program on your current computer) to try it out if you choose.
