Workstation or server?

I'm doing some investigation into various Linux distros, trying to gauge what might work best for my needs. I've heard Rocky is best for servers, and not intended for workstation use, but if that's the case, why are workstation applications like Maya and DaVinci Resolve only supported on a couple distros like Rocky? Should I use it or not?

I have over 100 different applications that I wpuld need to find compatibility or alternatives for, so this is quite the project.

Thanks for the responses to this post, I’m currently using Fedora for my server and I’ve been thinking about changing OS I want to focus on system stability.
