Curious about the stability of using Photoshop with Wine or a VM. Photoshop and Marvelous Designer are the only apps I use that aren’t on linux. I wonder if using Wine for Photoshop would be simplified if people try a version like m0nkrus that doesn’t require the creative cloud.

    My need for the Adobe CC Suite professionally is what keeps me from switching to Linux as a daily driver (currently on macOS). If I could get the latest version running reliably on Linux, I’d love to switch.

    I’ve tried the alternatives, and they’re just not good enough for me. I really wish Adobe would port their stuff to Linux.

      The best we can ever hope for are CC browser versions. They’ll never create a native Linux port. At least not in the next 10 years. :(

      I completely get why you’d stick with MacOS if you need CC software. That being said I am very glad about the general lack of anti-user software like Adobe’s suite on Linux and I hope they don’t port their CC software to Linux. Instead I hope FOSS alternatives get better to the point where most PS/CC users can reasonably meet all their needs with free (as in libre) software. GIMP is pretty decent these days although I find it a lot more clunky and awkward to use than PS. But hopefully either the gap can close or some new FOSS developer can create an even better alternative.
