Personally, the only reason I don't fully switch to Linux is because of the Adobe Suite, but other than that, I would absolutely make the switch. I'm hoping that if this promopts enough people to make the switch, then Adobe will finally make versions of their Programs for Linux.
Realistically wasm gets good enough, that everything starts to become a webapp so that every app is an every os app.
Monkey's paw: now every app becomes subscription based
Have you tried it on VM or wine and stuff? Try dual booting to test it out.
Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?
Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.
Not the poster above, but just wondering here. I don't use Adobe products. I can see a VM not being the best. How about Wine? Can you just install Photoshop via vutris and go?
They would never. In their mind if you are using Linux is because you can't afford windows. And if you can't afford windows then you can't afford adobe
But they used to offer support for Photoshop and Illustrator a while back if I'm not mistaken. That's what's annoying me.
Older versions are supported via wine/crossover, but not official support
The only mainstream professional graphics program with official Linux support was Corel draw, but for a single version twenty years ago, because they acquired a Linux distribution and they wanted to do a bundle os+office+desktop graphics. But nobody bought it (it's difficult to even find a pirated copy of that) so they scrapped the idea immediately
that would be awesome. i assume youve tried foss alternatives to adobe apps. they arent as good usually (ofc), but still great for most uses imo, unless u are doing stuff proffessionally i suppose
I work professionally with Adobe programs, but quite frankly, it's ridiculous that there's no Linux support. Heck, even Cinema4D and Redshift support Linux.
Maybe just stop using shit products, I don't know.
