I was wondering if Adobe released any Photoshop versions for Linux? Because I looked everywhere in Adobe's site but I could not find any information.

Hello,
since you bought substance, you should really port at least the creative cloud app to Linux.
Also, porting photoshop to Linux is a good business decision because a lot of studio's use Linux on their workstation.

After my school educational license go`s away i will start using gimp unless you make a good buisness desision.
112 *20 = enough money to hire a developer to port to linux. And u`ll probably make more off of it.

I'm sick of wasting time on Mac or Windows just for run PS. I'm aready paying for PS, but I can't use it on a normal and stable OS. I think that PS codebase is pretty bad, that's why they can't port PS to Linux. There is Davinci Resolve, there is Lightworks - their devs can do that. The fun is that I cannot install PS on my Mac for couple of days. It's a... waste.

 

Probably I will cancel my subscription, too.

Yeah, Unfortunately I'm also part of the 4-th point. If only this restart could be avoided. Photoshop/Lightroom are the only things I need from Windows left (I already play all Steam games in Linux).

The sever size will need to be  windows or Mac for sure.   For Adobe.io you woul need  Adobe Developer Comsole I would think I do not know what requitement that has.  Try this link https://www.adobe.io/apis/experienceplatform/console/docs.html

Does anyone know how Photoshop and adobe apps in general work on Linux / Ubuntu?

Adobe doesn't like open source and doesn't like Linux

I was so happy that I found out that Huawei decided to ship their flagship laptop "Huawei Matebook X Pro" also 

preinstalled with Linux!

The version they are using is based on Debian and is called "Deepin"

So I installed on my Matebook X Pro very easily with a USB key whilevpressing F12 during boot.

I have worked with open source many years tried all kind of Linux distro's but none of then worked so

perfect out of the box like "Deepin" !

No problem with drivers etc, everything work out of the box, and it is also very easy to use

 

So if you are creative and don't like Microsoft, Apple, and too expensive software, buy a Huawei Matebook X Pro

install deeping on it, and then install "Pinta" (with flatpack) 

"Pinta" works almost the same as Photoshop and it's free, and very stable,

highly recommended!

Is there any way in which I can download, install, and use Adobe Photoshop on my laptop running Zorin OS (Linux)? Please help me out.

I totally agree, especially point 4 makes the Adobe usage skewed. We used to boot into MacOS to be able to use Adobe until we decided to ditch Mac completely so now we just use open source replacements on Ubuntu.

If people stop using Adobe on Mac or Windows they'll see a drop in users and only then take it seriously.

With the current rise of desktop Linux marketshare and amazing modern distributions these days surely it would be a great idea to finally get Adobe software(mostly Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere pro for me) running on Linux?

We've, figuratively, thrown our Macs out of the window and now create our poster ads and TV commercials exclusively on Linux.
Parts of the team do miss the Adobe suite for workflow purposes but also swear to never return to either Mac or Windows.

Please take it into consideration again Adobe, you're missing out on a heap of potential customers who just happen to love supporting an open source environment that just runs better than the competition.
Adobe software and Digital Audio Workstations are the only things keeping Linux back from its full potential.

"Adobe's decision to join the Linux Foundation is a natural extension of its commitment to open standards and open source, which demonstrates its leadership and foresight in the software industry," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation."

Seeing as Adobe fully commits to open standards and open source this would be nothing short of a natural move for the company.
