Getting updates without keeping Big Sur

Since I cannot get to anyone at Adobe for a support question, I will post it here.

 

Is there any way possible to continue to get PS and LR updates (subscription) without upgrading to Big Sur?

 

Apple screwed up this operating system, I have so many problems that havent been addressed and this is the absolutely worse OS that Mac has ever made.  I have made the decision to wipe my HD and install Mojave instead, never to upgrade again.

 

However, if I do that I believe I am stuck with an older version of the Adobe products as well, if that is the case I will have to move away from using Adobe and replacing it with something else.

 

Does anyone here know if the updaes fail?

    Correct answer

    I rather assumed you had gone back just to Catalina. Still, Photoshop should install on Mojave (10.14). Do you meet all of the system requirements? For example RAM, GPU with minimum RAM and Metal support... ? https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/system-requirements.html

     

    If you show the whole of "About this Mac" screen shot, instead of just the headline, it will answer some, not all, of these questions. Mask the serial number if you like.


    Looks like my T2 chip was causing the problems, I updated to Catalina and now all is well.  Some things you just cannot do with a Apple anymore.  This is my last one.

    At the moment I thing the Big Sur update is not mandatory for Adobe sotfware. 

    Many people nowadays work with Mojave or Catalina.

    At some point Adobe program may required an OS upgrading, but they continue to work anyway.

      Unfortunately this is not true.  My Creative Cloud now indicates that updates cannot be applied without having Big Sur.

       

      Oh well, Guess I will be using a different app and cancelling my subscription to Adobe.

      "My Creative Cloud now indicates that updates cannot be applied without having Big Sur."  Please show the EXACT message you get, and when you get it. Big Sur is NOT a requirement for any Adobe app except certain beta versions.
