Please add Ubuntu support for Adobe CC. Adobe CC is the only production application I am not able to run on Linux. As such, we use different products, but would prefer to be able to keep using Adobe. We would prefer to NOT find another graphics company, but are actively looking for other creative production vendors since Adobe CC does not support Linux. Please support Linux ASAP.
I couldn't agree more. There is absolutely no reason why Adobe couldn't support an Ubuntu-based version of Adobe CC, as far as I can see. At the very least, please finish migrating to an entirely browser-based set-up... that way we can continue to use your products in an OS-agnostic way. At the moment, those of us who use Linux (whether for ideological reasons or out of practical necessity) are left in the cold, using cumbersome and inelegant workarounds just to keep working with Adobe products. The fact that many of us are willing to do that is a testament to the quality of Adobe products... nevertheless, the Linux user base is ignored at the company's peril. We may be forced to jump ship at some point.

Adobe products are the only one that is keeping us from not moving our studio to Linux. I'm still bewildered why it hasn't happened yet. We use a ton of different software for our productions and they all support Linux.
It is crazy to see that a multi-billion dollar corporation can not support the creative community. Many of us who create videos and photos use linux and the user base is growing rapidly due to flavors like Ubuntu, Mint, and Elementary offering such a wonderful user experience. A Linux port seems like a no-brainer for future proofing.

As many have said, Adobe products are the only thing keeping people tethered to Windows. You would actually GAIN a lot of new customers if you did this. It's just mind-boggling that this hasn't been done yet.
Maybe you have a special relationship with Microsoft or Apple, I don't know, but as I said in the other thread, it'd be great if Adobe opened up.

Given microsoft now documents all your activity on windows our entire shop has to move away from microsoft to maintain our ip on developing products. Rather then have most of the shop linux and two mac users because they need adobe it would be nice to maintain a linux only shop.

Linux version please... We're in 2018 and it's about time for a port of CC to Linux. This is the only thing I need to make the switch. As a web dev, Windows isn't a good option and OSX is becoming a real nightmare/money pit.

This would be fantastic idea!
I work with many creatives and many of them are thorn between non-expandable Macs Pro and hideous Windows 10, focused on portable devices and entertainment neglecting professional workstations. Linux would be a perfect solution!

To be fair its not like adobe would be the first...
DaVinci Resolve runs quite well on ubuntu and Fedora which could be a replacement for everything except After Effects.
Autodesk Flame has a linux version for Centos which I am starting to use more often to get away from windows. Have to learn a new product though but this can do almost everything but run my favourite pluggiins from After Effects.
Been using adobe products since 2003 and not really looking forward to switching, but we are ditching Windows so may not have a choice.
And I am yet another who dual boots Windows only to use Adobe CC, please Adobe, what are you not listening? Can you comment and give us a state of play? Are there any plans, or not? I think you should at least let us know, or should we consider your silence deafening?
To use Adobe CC, my current option is to go to the community college that I am enrolled in and take a Photography class that allows me access to Adobe Creative Cloud on their iMac. My linux computer is 3 years old and I want to buy another Intel i5 laptop, run linux, and Adobe CC. Since I cannot run Adobe CC on linux in 2018, I may buy a Chromebook. I am NEVER running Windows 10 and an iMac is too expensive.
I am an editor, motion graphics designer and filmmaker, and I've been using Adobe CS5 and up on Mac OS for the past 6 years.
Adobe's workflow and programs are extremely helpful and versatile, but given that we creators have to choose between hardware that is unstable, inefficient, or simply without significant upgrades (Macs, Pro towers to be exact) or software that is notorious for being bloated and prone to crashing (Windows), at least having the option of a third place to run AND PAY FOR Adobe CC would be ideal.
Even if Adobe chose to support one distro, I know I'd greatly appreciate that.

Adobe is the only reason I have not switched completely. It is getting frustrating to choose to stay on Windows on my work computer simply because Adobe does not care about their customers.
