Hi I am looking to buy a barebone laptop and I want to install linux on it because its open source, easy to mod, and has less hardware problems. So many programs don't support linux so I was wondering if there is anyway to run non-linux software while it still being hardware efficient without emulation.
Ways to run certain software that doesn't support linux on linux

There is WINE, a compatibility layer that allows you to run *some* windows software on Linux. Some things will work better than others.

Some games that do not have a linux port yet may work under WINE. Check the WINE AppDB to see how well it is supported:

Really though do you need AutoCad or Photoshop? There are many other CAD software besides AudoCad that support Linux. Likewise there are other Digital photo editing software like GIMP.
