Question

Friendly reminder that there is still a demand for CC on Linux

A lot of your customers are using Windows for Creative Cloud only. Developing a Linux version of the suite would allow those users to have a workflow suited to their preference, and ultimately would expand the community.

Especially since Microsoft's been ROYALLY screwing up Windows 10 lately, and Windows users are already vested in thousands of dollars in PC hardware, there's never been a better argument or a better time for Adobe to make Linux versions.  If they had even started program by program, little by little, YEARS ago, there wouldn't have been such enormous pressure now to get all these programs to Linux.  If Microsoft keeps neglecting _basic_ quality control with Windows, we are going to end up with a computing crisis for those without the resources to switch to Mac hardware, and Adobe will HAVE to make Linux versions or go the way of Sears.  So typical of shortsighted corporations!

And even Microsoft supports Linux, particularly Ubuntu - they have Linux dev tools within Windows now, even have Ubuntu Desktop OS as a download in the Microsoft Store, so what the heck Adobe?

This discussion comes up every month (or there around).

I'm sure that Adobe keeps an eye on Linux and will provide CC on Linux as soon as the Linux user base gets a critical mass.

and ultimately would expand the community.

By a fraction of what? 0.3 percent or such? Totally not worth it, considering that the main money-making programs like Photoshop are used by people who may not even know what Linux is. it's still extremely unlikely that this will ever happen or else it already would have.

I'd argue that the reason the percent would be so low is just because we don't have Adobe Suite on it. I can totally see streamlined linux distros developed for a specific enterprise's needs bundled with Adobe being a lot more efficient than a Windows machine.

It's not like Adobe makes just 1 product.  Adobe makes 100s of products that work on various versions of Windows & Mac.  Now you want support for another platform.    That's asking for the 3-headed dog from hell.
