Bottles, because it makes using Wine (for running Windows applications like Ableton Live) so much easier and not affect your system's Wine installation (because of the containerized approach). It's also FOSS and on Flathub for easy installation.
Each person has different needs, but assuming the newcomer to Linux has all of the basic applications/software preinstalled (browser, email client, office suite, etc.), and if you're using anything Debian or Ubuntu-based (since you're new to Linux), please, make sure to have Synaptic and gdebi installed. They will help you install software before you get the terminal figured out.
This is theoretical and not necessarily an application (but it could be), but maybe a guide on how to use the Linux terminal (bash, fish, or zsh) and some common dos and don'ts.

For finance mgmt you have choice between gnucash and KMyMoney for free. But they cannot provide the huge number of special bank account authentications. For less fee in Germany I recommend Moneyplex. Even a free project for standard access accounting I recommend Aqbanking.
