could you please port Photoshop to Linux for most popular distributions like Ubuntu, arch,debian,mint,and what not

Currently Photoshop is only available on Windows and macOS, forcing Linux users to rely on dual-booting, virtual machines, or compatibility layers like Wine — none of which offer a reliable, full-featured experience. Linux has a growing base of designers, illustrators, and photographers, especially in tech, open source, and Linux-native creative workflows. A native Photoshop build (or GPU/color-management-optimized support via a compatibility layer) for major distros would remove a significant barrier for this community. Even a phased rollout starting with core editing features would be a big step forward. plz

    ​@AxelMatt  but it's definitely not likely to happen if windows screws up with windows 12 and enough people go to Linux it's more likely

    This is a never ending story. There have been calls to port Photoshop (and other Adobe application) to Linux for years. There’s no reaction from Adobe. So I see little to no chance of that ever being implemented.
