P: Provide support for Linux

Interesting. This has been ramping up in votes a bit. Seven more and it'll be on the first page of requests...

One vote more for Linux must have lightroom!

I already have a windows version but would immediately buy AGAIN a license for linux as it's the only showstopper for me to switch to ubuntu.

I'll admit that I'm one of those who have searched and found "many" posts of Lr users wanting/wishing for a Linux version. I fully understand the difficulties in porting and more importantly supporting the application to a potentially large number of Linux distros. Nevertheless, I still hold out hope that I will one day be able to get rid of my Windows VMWare install when I can pay for a Lr linux version.

I just want to weigh in here, I've been following this thread for some time now but never wrote. Now I finally decided to write here, just so I won't angry with myself, when I read again that there aren't enough people who can even be bothered to write here.

I'm a linux user for several years now, I got really in to photography this year and I would be willing to buy Adobe Lightroom in the blink of an eye if there was a linux version. I was tempted to buy a windows version but decided against, it simply because I don't want to support Adobes negligence of the linux community (e.g. not even bother to optimize lightroom to run in wine or creating a native linux version). And for the moment i can make due with the alternatives. I do realise however, that there are many people who would like to use linux but don't have this choice, since they earn their living as photographers.

But I am also quite sure, that there are a lot of linux users like me who would be willing to pay, but who don't need lightroom urgently enough to get the windows version. Let's face it linux users tend to be a bit geeky or just plain nerds. And those two share at least one characteristic; they are passionate about there hobbies. Therefore I assume quite a lot of them would be willing to spend the money on Lightroom, since it really isn't that expensive compared to other photo gear.

I hope I can encourage others to join in and help Adobe convince there is a market for their products in the linux community. We are willing to pay!

That's a bit of a limp excuse, isn't it?

I feel the same but I don't want to believe that 😞 I hope Adobe will at some point give us GNU/Linux users the opportunity to avoid messing with dual-boots!

I think the reason we won't get many comments here is because the majority of linux users has already lost hope. Adobe never gives a direct answer just a lot of hot air.

I'm using GNU/Linux (and only that) since more 10 years. So, I can't use LightRoom for my Photo processing. And I dont want to buy a Windows license for only that.

I vote for a GNU/Linux version of LightRoom.

I just notice that BibbleLabs (a little bit smaller than Adobe) edits a GNU/linux version of Bibble. Why Adobe can't do that ?

I'd be happy just being able to run Lightroom through wine. Ridiculous that I have to use Vmware + Windows just for one program.
