P: Provide support for Linux (2011)

We read all the topics.

I am wondering if someone from Adobe checks this topic?

We don't get any response to our requests.
I know nobody obliged to do it, but still it will be nice to hear what Adobe thinks.

Linux users would definitely pay for a Photoshop port. Linux users paid the most for the Humble Indie Bundle pack. Quote from Wikipedia:

"By tracking pricing, Wolfire Games found that Linux users were the most generous, paying about US$14 per bundle, followed by MacOS X users (US$10) and Windows users (US$7–8)".

I'm a web developer. I use linux. I need photoshop. PLEASE release photoshop for linux.

I would like to Request support for Linux OS.

I love Photoshop, one of my favorite Software, but i really loath Windows with it's lack of Security, The minimal requirement for Windows OS keep getting higher and higher and that means i have to keep pushing more and more money onto my computer every few years, And the OS it's self every few year.
Linux i don't have to pay a dime, it's proformance is 2X better than that of windows OS. It's security is 2X better than Windows, And i don't have upgrade my computer every few years to meet the minimal Requirement to run the OS it's self
Plus, Many big companys are switching from Window to Linux. Like IBM for example, They invested BILLIONS into Linux, and have hired over 300 Linux Kernal developers, And considering the relationship with Photoshop and the video game, Movie or just the entertainment industry in general. it would be a good idea to support Linux for Photoshop.

Adobe, if you look at the size of the Linux Users Group you may conclude it is too small. Yet, Photoshop is one of the main reasons for that.
Namely, once you offer such option you'll be the catalyst to make this group much larger.

P.S. If you ported Adobe Photoshop to run on GTK+, it would run equally well on Windows, Mac, and Linux (and maybe a few other platforms as well).

I paid Microsoft $150 for a version of Windows just so that I could run Photoshop in a virtual machine on my 64-bit Ubuntu Linux box. That's $150 that I was willing to pay to Adobe (above the $600 I paid for Photoshop), but paid to Microsoft instead. Microsoft charges Android phone manufacturers to use Linux on their phones. Why doesn't Adobe charge Microsoft for NOT providing a Linux port of Photoshop? At least Adobe could be realizing some of the potential profit they are currently losing.

If Photoshop ran on Linux that would save me $150 and about 10 minutes of applying patches and booting up and shutting down Windows every time I use Photoshop, and would also make Alt-clicking work properly. In the meantime, I'd feel much better knowing that at least some of that money went to Adobe, rather than to Microsoft.

plan to make a linux version of photoshop?

Sorry for this kind of double posting, but I am really looking forward for response from Adobe.

Do you have any plans to make the Adobe products running on Linux. I am using Photoshop CS5 with Wine now on my Ubuntu (got sick of the Virtual machine and it's memory limits), but it often makes me restart the program, because the shortcuts stop working, the tooltips don't disappear and hide important tools, etc. It's real pain in the ***.
