Great news for bloatware enthusiasts ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ
That means people need to have another excuse for not using GNU/Linux even though they complain 24/7/365 about Windows.
No, it means I can install Photoshop and InDesign for the couple times a year I need to edit a file in my line of work, and I no longer need to boot into Windows twice a year just to use them.
This is amazing news!
if you are doing such light work, krita and inkscape might be right up your alley.
not that it matters anymore now that adobe stuff is supposed to work better.
They are up my alley, I use them personally.
I receive the Adobe files and I modify them slightly and send them back.
People have very good reasons for not switching to Linux. Not everyone is a computer/software enthusiast. Most people dont want to deal with the different for the heck of it, especially when the current solution works well enough (which windows does no matter how much we like to shit on it for fair reasons.)
Until Adobe patch’s the installer and licencing server to prevent it from working at all. (Too cynical?)
Who need licensing for Adobe products?
My thoughts as well. At least we can be cynical together.
get that and other common specialty software like autocad and stuff to run reliably, and there would be even less of a barrier for people to switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games. i love that it does but most people’s bread and butter must come here.

Why would they want to do that? If there’s sufficient demand, companies like Adobe have enough billions in change to fund that effort.
yeah that’s a problem. but we also need a lot of work on this side of wine.
they can certainly bring more people to their platform at a time computers are getting expensive to build, but integrators buying in bulk can wrestle better prices.
This post only mentions that the installer works, but does the actual application work? Don’t get me wrong, the installer working is still progress.
the application has worked for some time; it just required a windows copy or piracy to actually get the application files
Rude.
next time ask nicely
Okay well, lightroom Classic is the last thing I’m booting into Windows for. I’ve tried a few times to get into Darktable but the learning curve is steep and blah blah blah. Could you please expound on your earlier comment? If there’s a trick for getting Adobe software to play nicely it could be life changing for me. Are you saying that the software installs fine with Wine/Proton, the issue is the installer/Creative Cloud? Thank you so much!!!
it’s a bit of a pain, but this post here offers an in-depth explanation how to set up photoshop CC 2024, and should be adaptable to other adobe software and more recent versions.
alternatively, if you don’t mind using a version that’s a few years out of date (but well tested and supported), this script streamlines the whole setup process and has been successfully used to accommodate lightroom.
i hope this all helps. good luck!
Explain.
butter smooth
Butter smooth and adobe should never belong in the same sentence.
The real question is whether the Affinity installer works. Adobe can get lost.
I just googled “does Adobe run on Linux” yesterday and saw it doesn’t…
This is great news but my cc already updated to 2026 and I am not in a position to pirate atm
I used Krita for the first time the other day and it was a lot more slick than Gimp. Not a professional though, just got a hobbyist interest in graphic design.
yeah I only recommend krita now, GIMP works but it is not easy to learn
If someone can get DXO PureRaw and Lightroom to work on Linux, I’ll switch immediately and won’t look back.
have you tried it? adobe programs usually work, it was the installer that was broken.
i never tried lightroom though, i’m a bit curious if it’d work well.
I haven’t tried to be honest, I haven’t had much time to tinker around. I have a spare laptop that my work gave to me that was functioning fine but they were going to toss. Haven’t done anything with it yet so I may give it a try when I have more time on my hands.
