From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux (lemmy.ml)

I'm keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I'm just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I'm guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I'm having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.

I'm generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven't really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.

It's not something I would trust my mother to be able to setup but if you are a regular Linux user then it shouldn't be too hard for you.

And it's a one-time setup. Once it's working, it'll keep working, unless wondering drastically changes with iommub groups or something (i.e. check before doing major BIOS updates).

If it isn't that it means it isn't decent software :D
