I am on Ubuntu, and I need to download the Mac OS installer files for Bridge, Lightroom, Media Encoder, and Photoshop so I can test with some compatiblity tools*, but I get the message:

Unable to Install Photoshop

Sorry, Photoshop won't run on your OS. To continue you'll have to upgrade.

See system requirements

*I have tried using WINE (compatiblity layer) but that does not work

Darling only runs very basic mac graphical applications and is no where near advanced enough to run something like photoshop, so you still need a real mac, which can be bought at reasonable prices used.

As far as getting the dmg downloads, you have to contact adobe support, since for whatever reason adobe removed all public download links to creative cloud applications and most other adobe software as well.

If Wine won't work then you need to use a Windows 10 x64 install to run windows programs or an actual Mac computer to run adobe applications for mac. Microsoft windows 10 downloads are good for thirty days before they need activation.

For windows 10 you can use a virtual machine like virtualbox or vmware workstation player among others. You do need to supply the windows 10 operating system.

I have tried using a virtal machine running Windows 10 (x64), but that didn't work very well with saving the files or performance. I remember back with CC 2018, there was (an Adobe) page with hyperlinks to both the Windows EXEs and the Mac OS DMGs, so if I could get links to the DMGs, that would be perfect.

For wine you need windows versions of adobe applications.

To run mac versions of adobe applications you need a mac operating system.

WINE does not work with the newer Adobe CC apps, so I am trying to use the 'program' Darling .
