Linux Support for Illustrator on the Desktop

New Here ,
Aug 07, 2025 Aug 07, 2025

Dear Adobe Team and fellow creatives,

I just wanted to throw this out there: it's 2025, and we still don't have native support for Adobe Creative Cloud on Linux. I know it's been requested for years, but I really believe there's a growing need for it now more than ever.

As a design student who uses Linux daily, it's incredibly frustrating having to jump through hoops—like using Wine, virtual machines, or switching OS—just to run apps like Photoshop or Illustrator. These workarounds often break, lag, or simply aren’t reliable for professional work.

I know supporting another platform is no small task, but just look around—Linux is everywhere. Designers, developers, and students alike are choosing it for its flexibility, privacy, and speed. There’s a whole creative community here that would gladly pay for native Adobe tools on Linux.

Please consider this. Even if it's just Photoshop and Illustrator to start with—something would be a game changer.

To other Linux users: if you feel the same, let’s make some noise and show Adobe there's real demand here! 👇💬

Thanks for listening.

If you can tank only gasoline, you won't buy a Diesel. The number of Linux Desktops, _IMO_, thus is insignificant, if you can't switch because of Adobe.
Win11 is tanking massively, according to public stats, so if you don't wanna do it for the much acclaimed ESGs or "sustainability", please consider it for the safety of all users unwilling or unable to "upgrade" to Win11 or dump a ton of money on a Mac. 
The occasional weirdness aside, any child can use - some distro of - Linux these days, due to less complicated data paths, systems sometimes run a lot faster than Win 10, so Adobe also would look better performance wise.
