Photoshop on the Web (Linux Distros)

[D. Humann]

As a user of Photoshop on the desktop and iPad, I don't find many occassions to use Photoshop Web. The one time I would find it useful is when I'm on my little Linux box (Pop!_OS). However, it doesn't seem to work in either Chrome (Chromium) or Firefox. The web app hangs when trying to load or create a document.

Photoshop on the Web
Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS 64bit
Chromium Version 117.0.5938.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Firefox Version 118.0.1 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Open Ps Web in the Chromium or Firefox browser on a Linux distro (in this instance Pop!_OS);
2.) create a new document;
3.) wait for new PSDC to be created.

Expected behavior:
Photoshop Web creates the new document and is ready to work.

Actual Result:
The "Creating document" dialog message continues to spin and never actually loads a saved document or starts a new document.

I understand it might not be "officially supported" but being that its a web app running in the browser, it seems like it should work. Is there any simple explanation as to why it wouldn't work?

Hi!

I was just wondering--hoe is your internet connection? What is your upload and download speed?

Linux as always is not supported.

It runs in a supported browser. The operating sysetm shouldn't really matter. And I'd love to hear from someone at Adobe as to why it wouldn't work.

If you're suggesting that this is caused by my connnection speed, that's not it. It works in Windows at the same location.

Thanks! That is good to know.

I have the same problem with Firefox 130 (64) and 23h2

@drdvde try a different browser - same result?

[drdvde]

Edge does the same thing as Firefox

@drdvde Is this on Linux or ? @D. Humann OS is part of the minimum requirements:

Oh man! I'm on win 11 although I am seeing the same phenomenon described in the OP. Oh well.

My original post was about runnuing Photoshop Web in Chromium on Linux (specifically PopOS). I stated why I would find this useful in my original post. I've considered this matter closed for almost a year or so.

These new comments seem to be about a similar issue on a supported operating system. Thus, a new post should be opened to address any support issues they're having with the app.

Sorry for inclusion of my gmail sig; didn't realize that was happening
