Curious choice of programs for "developing tools" -- blender is a 3d modeller and sometimes video editor (though I would suggest looking into kdenlive if on Linux and needing a basic video editor with a few tricks up its sleeve), while photoshop is a picture editor and sometimes web page creator. Unity3d is then something resembling a development tool, this being as it is an engine for 3d games.
If someone says developing tools I will assume more that they want to write code (in which case Linux distros are arguably what GNU/GCC focuses on).
Do you need photoshop or will Gimp do the job? Granted running WINE is much of a muchness, however Gimp tends to be fine on anything vaguely mainstream where who knows what will happen any given month and with whatever obscure plugin you want to play with in photoshop/adobe's general setup.
As above though as long as you are not running a cut down specialist piece of kit then worst thing that happens is some distros might not come with a library that other distros might, which can stretch to some hundreds of megabytes in the case of various things like the KDE backend/libraries that you might need for the KDE programs (don't have to run the KDE desktop environment though).
If you absolutely must keep up on bleeding edge stuff then the stability focused nature of some distros might mean you get to upgrade, or even compile something as not all libraries and forks will be taken up.
Generally for Linux then anything that is on
https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major is what I would suggest for newcomers, save for arch linux (good to install to learn Linux, though
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ is where you want to go for that if you actually want to get your hands dirty and learn a lot). Anything that is not on that list had better have a specialist reason why you want it, and that is usually some very specific server reason (super low latency maybe) or some very specific scientific workflow reason (there are few distros aimed at various flavours of biology, especially bioinformatics, chemistry, astronomy and a few others).
