P: Provide support for Linux

It's time to think about a change. For many years I'm a user of Adobe Lightroom. It runs on a Windows XP system, but now I've to update my system. I used this system just for Lightroom. For any other tasks I use Linux.
Dear Adobe management, please support the Linux community with a portation of Lightroom on Linux. I've decided to completely change to Linux with or without you. It would be more helpful with you, but other software solutions than yours are waiting for you ignoring a change in system landscape. Apple also tried to ignore Android, but now ....

Best regards

I've purchased AfterShot Pro to work with my photos on Linux. But I feel lack of support for this product from Corel. I'd be glad to purchase Lightroom if it has Linux support. That is ridiculous for me to use Windows or MacOS only for one program. I understand that every investment should be paid back and I really, really hope that market is already ready for Lightroom Linux version. I am the one who is waiting for that small miracle. 😃

Yes, really good news.

Amazing news, Dan. Thank you for your valuable input!

Good to hear! Be sure I won't hold my breath :)

I thought alike about the Valve's involvement in Linux. Maybe the sparkle...

I can't help you on the port... except do some testing if this is possible at some point and give feedbacks.

Keep up the great work! Thanks... and I do hope Adobe is listening to allow two or three people full time on this project 🙂 Let's dream 🙂

I did actually port (on personal time) the lowest level kernel of the Lua IDE a week or so ago, but the next two frameworks I'd have to port are quite a bit larger. Still, seeing the core of it spin up on Linux does motivate me to throw more time at it. I'd still like to make versions of the substrate and ui frameworks for Linux to get the Lua IDE operational and that would get me quite a ways toward getting the heart of Lightroom beating on Linux, too.

However, as noted in the thread above, that'd be a personal side project and not an "Adobe sanctioned" thing, so I can only chip at it in off hours. Which is to say, don't hold your breath. :o(

It is still kinda cool to see how far up the leaderboard this item has climbed. Maybe that and Valve's movements toward putting Steam on Linux might be the sign of a tipping point. Here's hoping.

Any news from Adobe?

I'm still hoping to see this sooner than later...

I'd love if Lightroom/PS became available on Linux. In fact, I'd go home tonight and uninstall windows since Lightroom is the last app holding me back.

I would love to have LR on Linux, but Aftershot Pro is getting my money. Gotta support the people who care!

But we shouldn't stop expressing ourselves... recently Linux has been finally recognized by video game industry (Steam for Linux from Valve). So, Lightroom for the linux!!
