Adobe, Linux Support, and the Linux Foundation.

While generally I've only lurked the Adobe forums I've finally worked up guts to post this. I also know that about every 1-2 months this question is asked but I think it deserves a another go around.

My premises is this:

Adobe joined the Linux Foundation in 2008 for a focus on Linux for Web 2.0 Applications like Adobe® Flash® Player and Adobe AIR™. Currently Adobe holds a silver membership status with the Linux Foundation. So why in the world do they not have any Creative Cloud Programs available in Linux without the need for WINE and other such workarounds. I think it's a sucky move to support the Linux Foundation and use Linux in the back-end while not doing anything to support actual Linux users who have for at least a decade requested Adobe desktop products on Linux. Sure it's going to take a lot of manpower, financial resources, etc. But to truly support Linux and the Linux Foundation I think it's necessary that y'all do make things like Photoshop and Lightroom available for the Linux desktop. In any regards the wider Linux community would most likely help with testing and debugging programs. We're used to it.

I don't see a chance that Adobe supports Linux in the future. The relevant discussions have been going on for years, and nothing has happened.
I think it makes little sense to continue them. Adobe doesn't see a market for its applications on Linux. And due to the numerous Linux variants, commercial support is probably not possible.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Adobe surely has made a point of not supporting Linux and there could be many legitimate and sometime slightly suspect reasons for that. What is true is that if we wish to make access to creative cloud on linux a reality what is called for is to open our eyes and see those creative and innovative members of the Linux community who are developing and building bridges between different environments in order to achieve our goal as well as theirs.

I call all you guys to action. find a project that you believe it, be it a fork of Wine, or an emulation like emu or qemu + looking glass and or wineapps, winboat etc. and put your energy behind it. speak of it, join it, test it and best of all fund it.

who knows at the end of this road you will get much more than you asked for. Not just CC in your favorite linux distribution but a new way of being in your creative practice.

If they ported CC I'd be able to ditch windows for good.

Photoshop is the only reason I’ve put up with Microsoft’s nonsense for so long. But there’s a limit to everything, and I've reached mine. I should have migrated to Linux a long time ago, just as many, many people are doing.

I know you place little value on the 10+ years of money I’ve paid you to use your products, but even so, I’m going to pay for one more month of the Creative Cloud and try to run your apps on Linux. If they run well, I might continue using them for the rest of my life. If they don’t, well, I’ll have to find another application; what can I do?

Perhaps now is the time for you to think about adapting to market trends with Linux-compatible versions. It could be an excellent strategy to recoup the losses resulting from your public conduct, which is equivalent to Microsoft’s: disrespectful. A lot of people would be surprised—I know I would be.

We already have Davinci Resolve and Blender for Linux. Why not Creative Cloud? Linux is such a lovely OS. Better than Windows for me.

The main reason I currently run Windows 11 is the lack of Adobe's support for Creative Cloud in Linux. I find Windows 11 very annoying, but it is completely stable. (I've never experienced a crash on my two home systems or work system, despite having modified the registry in quite a few instances. Still trying to get rid of Edge!) I just prefer using Linux. The idea of using Proton to enable CC in Linux is appealing to me, but I seriously doubt it will ever happen, and even if it did, there would be no technical support. I don't foresee Linux ever being a supported platform for CC. I hope I'm wrong.

@kglad So mac users spend money on their "OS"? How does "not paying for an OS" makes you think that linux users will not use paid software? Remember the thing i mentioned about davinci resolve.

There's still people out there who are using the paid version of davinci resolve on linux. And even the games they play on steam is also purchased by their own. So don't just make silly assumptions that linux users will not pay for anything.
