P: Provide support for Linux

Yes, really good news.

Amazing news, Dan. Thank you for your valuable input!

Good to hear! Be sure I won't hold my breath :)

I thought alike about the Valve's involvement in Linux. Maybe the sparkle...

I can't help you on the port... except do some testing if this is possible at some point and give feedbacks.

Keep up the great work! Thanks... and I do hope Adobe is listening to allow two or three people full time on this project 🙂 Let's dream 🙂

I did actually port (on personal time) the lowest level kernel of the Lua IDE a week or so ago, but the next two frameworks I'd have to port are quite a bit larger. Still, seeing the core of it spin up on Linux does motivate me to throw more time at it. I'd still like to make versions of the substrate and ui frameworks for Linux to get the Lua IDE operational and that would get me quite a ways toward getting the heart of Lightroom beating on Linux, too.

However, as noted in the thread above, that'd be a personal side project and not an "Adobe sanctioned" thing, so I can only chip at it in off hours. Which is to say, don't hold your breath. :o(

It is still kinda cool to see how far up the leaderboard this item has climbed. Maybe that and Valve's movements toward putting Steam on Linux might be the sign of a tipping point. Here's hoping.

Any news from Adobe?

I'm still hoping to see this sooner than later...

I'd love if Lightroom/PS became available on Linux. In fact, I'd go home tonight and uninstall windows since Lightroom is the last app holding me back.

I would love to have LR on Linux, but Aftershot Pro is getting my money. Gotta support the people who care!

But we shouldn't stop expressing ourselves... recently Linux has been finally recognized by video game industry (Steam for Linux from Valve). So, Lightroom for the linux!!

I assume Adobe is thinking:

Question: Do we get more market share if a user who owns already a windows lightroom version is switching to a linux lightroom version?
Answer: NO

Question: Do we get more market share if a none lightroom user is buying a linux version instead of a windows or mac version?
Answer: NO

Question: Do we lose market share if a user who owns already a windows lightroom version is switching to a competitor because we do not offer lightroom for linux
Answer: YES

Question: Do we lose market share if a none lightroom user is buying a competitor product because we do not offer lightroom for linux
Answer: YES

So what do you think will adobe make develop a lightroom version for linux?

This article is also interesting:

I am also a happy lightroom user on mac and it would make me happier to see lightroom on linux, but I don't think that adobe has any interest in switching a lightroom user from one platform to another.

Which makes it 13th on the most popular list. Given that we seem to get at most a few of the most-requested features each cycle, I wouldn't hold my breath.
