Hundreds have people have requested native support for Linux (not cloud software - local installs) but IMO it deserves a renewed look specifically now because of the end of windows 10 support. Older Windows 10 computers without upgraded TPM cannot move to Windows 11, and the remaining best option is Desktop Linux.

However, for creative users this will would be a lot easier with support from Adobe for CC on Linux. The next best alternative is to move away from Photoshop and CC altogether and to move to other softwares. This is not an idea solution for Adobe nor for customers, and this is something many people have been asking for over a rather long time.

...if there was ever a right time for this, it is now.

It’s really the only reason I’m losing interest in Adobe. I still really love using the product, and think photoshop and illustrator are peak. However, as I barely use windows anymore, I find my self incredibly inconvenienced to access these tools in creative cloud which I am paying for.

I think if there’s not a good workaround at least announced soon. I may be dropping entirely. Testing out competitor suites and adjusting in the meantime. Sad it’s come to this, microslop is just so bad now, and the stuff that came out about their founder is bad enough it gives me the ick.

I really and desperately want to get off Windows. The only thing holding me back is Adobe. I don’t want to be stuck on Windows. Just add Linux support.

The engineering team at our organization is slowly transitioning to the cloud for it’s raw horsepower, which is something inaccessible on local devices. Meanwhile, we are stuck with MacOS and Windows waiting for things to render.

A good professional (software or media) cost’s close to $150 to 250/hour. Rendering/Build times are variable costs where the professional is just waiting doing nothing. Cloud compute can lower them with it’s effective compute..

There are enough case studies from Google Cloud and other cloud providers where companies leveraging virtual desktop infrastructure experienced gains productivity. So many developers are happy with Google bringing Android Studio to Google Cloud natively via Ubuntu Linux and the performance is something unparalleled to local hardware.

I am perplexed as to why Adobe is ignoring the next frontier of workplace productivity? The Cloud.

The cloud runs on Linux. Linux support makes absolute business sense.

this request has been made (using the same arguments) for many years.

Yes, but now Slop 11 is forcing us all to quite, and the files are public about Gates… All while Nvidia is finally series about driver support, Canva did what they did with Affinity, Gimp is catching up on long needed features, Apple is chomping for their bit of the market, and Steam has invested $Big cheddar in cross compatibility.

Long fight to get here, but it seems like cards are changing.

Hundreds of replies does not mean hundreds of people. This should be obvious, no? Only a small number of users actually post on the forums. Pretty diengenuous reply tbh.

Secondly - this is a circular issue. People that are holding back from moving to Linux is partly due to lack of support from major softwares they require for their daily workflow on the OS. Then those software community members (you - case in point) point to smaller number of Linux users as the problem...

It's not Windows apps in general. WINE exists. It's not Steam any more, it's not Blender, it's not Office (all are working to some degree on Linux). It's **Adobe** and a few other roadblocks.
