P: Provide support for Linux

I want to make sure what I said was clear. I didn't say that getting enough votes would make Adobe consider a port, only that having almost no votes would do the opposite (reaffirm the choice not to have one).

I did say if I saw enough interest I'd think harder about taking another run at getting Lightroom to work in Wine. I did actually try to install Lightroom via Wine a few weeks ago having seen the continued growth of votes on this topic, though it did remind me how much work it'd be to even get good Wine portability, so I do take that pledge seriously (even if I have doubts on my ability to pull it off).

So, not a joke, but not a promise, either. I do still want a version of Lightroom (or a lighter app with some of the core functionality and catalog compatibility) on Linux, but it isn't going to happen overnight...

My suggestion is to do a public question in http://slashdot.org/ website. And about Adobe Edge port too.

LR4 beta is out, and it has dropped support for some OSs that were supported in LR3, not the other way around.

So with the number of votes in this thread can we hope for a port to GNU/Linux? Any news from Adobe? Or was it a joke when you said that with enough vote you'll consider a port? If it was, I can tell you that's not fun at all 😞

Linux in very lacking in profissional photo softwares, I think it's a great opportunity to adobe.

LR4 is now in Public Beta and they dropped support for two OSs that were supported in LR3.

Lightroom is now the only application I use for which I need Windows. I'm thinking ot trying Bibble, since I'll soon have to replace the old XP system that I use to run Lightroom, and I'd rather spend the money on something besides a new version of Windows.

Good 🙂 It has been said by Dan above that if there were many reply maybe... Can we have some hope at this point?

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I boot into OS X for the sole purpose of Lightroom and it is a real pain.
