If Adobe would put its products on Linux I wouldn’t need Windows (or Mac) anymore. Unfortunately a lot of my work still requires being able to open things in Indesign and XD.

In the same boat. Been practicing GIMP but 25 years of PS is difficult to break away from =/ plus god forbid colleagues put in an ounce of effort in meeting to understand that PS isnt the only way to crop a damn image

Can you run a virtual machine on Linux just for Adobe?

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, but I would still need Windows for that. I meant I could remove Windows/Mac entirely from my life except that I need access to Adobe products.

I would preach about Affinity, but it doesn’t work on Linux either. Productivity apps in general are a lot more problematic than games.

Yeah. I am forced to keep one windows computer around for MasterCAM. I likely won't be able to pay to reup that license, though so I might be forced to try to make FreeCAD or similar work.

I mean, I can imagine CreativeCloudOS becoming a required install eventually in addition to the monthly fee and your firstborn for creative cloud. It may not be super likely but Adobe cutting out Microsoft from its money pipeline doesn't sound impossible

How are things with compatibility layers?
