This is probably hardware-specific, but I installed void linux on my thinkpad x1 last week, and it can't shutdown or wake up from sleep until I disabled tpm 2.0 from bios. Very weird. Other distros I tried so far didn't have this problem.

windows 11: doesn't work without tpm 2.0
(some) linux distro: doesn't work if tpm 2.0 enabled
Cops in japan literally has nothing to do. I bet they're excited to finally see some action.
They probably don't have a designer, but as a platform they're actually solid. App devs can't pull a switcheroo like uploading malicious apk because they can only upload source code (which will be made public), not binary. You can be sure apps you download there 100% generated from the published source code, unlike downloading from, say, release page on some random github repo.
Not sure if it's possible on the latest version of gnome anymore. Maybe try turning off lock screen notification because those sleep warning notification would often shows up when the screen is already locked?
I kinda assumed anyone who know how to install Linux on their laptop wouldn't have too much problem figuring out how VM works
Try running those adobe apps on a windows virtual machine. Use KVM with virt-managet instead of virtualbox. If the performance is acceptable for you, now you can use Linux as the primary os and only use the VM for adobe apps. VM boots faster too because you can just hit suspend and resume it again later.
The scanners should tell you the reason they flag a file. If it's marked as trojan, obviously don't run it. Cracks are usually marked as crack by most antivirus.
You can also upload the flagged files to virustotal to see what other antiviruses flag the files for.
GPU passthrough works pretty well these days, but anticheats will detect you running inside a VM. Evading anticheats detection is a separate issue unrelated with gpu passthrough, usually involves getting the vm to look like a real hardware as much as possible (e.g. using real mac address, hiding kvm hypervisor signature, etc). It's quite a deep rabbit hole and I haven't actually tried it.
It's generally safe, but doesn't mean it's bulletproof as sites has been removed from the megathread in the past when they suddenly serve malwares or miners. Just use your common sense when downloading apps and games and scan them before installing.
Pirated apps are one of the top source for botnet operators to infect new machines and add them to their network. Try not to run any pirated app or game if you can, but if you can't avoid it, get it from trusted sources (e.g. directly from the cracker's homepage), not from random sources like TPB where anyone can upload anything.
Are those signage tv have similar tech as normal tv? e.g. oled screen, low latency mode, etc?
