Adobe on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Hi,

Am I the only one, except NASA, who want to work full time only on Linux?

ADOBE, time to go forward! Or you are waiting for a Serif to make a milestone?

 

PS: Color management is much more easy and 'stable' compared to Windows. (x-rite i1display PRO PLUS + DisplayCAL)

    You are not the only one upset with many products not available on Linux.  I am 100% Linux as a Developer.

    I am a HUGE Linux person; but I can understand why their base is strickly Apple and Microsoft. Think about it from their perspective. It would be a nightmare. Linux is highly fragmented, with many different distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux) and desktop environments (e.g., GNOME, KDE), each with subtle differences in how software behaves. Supporting this fragmentation would add complexity to Adobe’s development process. Big Nightmare..

    Has anyone successfully used WINE and Creative Cloud? I'm going to try after this comment but I mess up a lot so just thought i'd drop that idea. In case anyone doesnt know WINE is a program on the linux distributions that lets you install .exe files and i think .msi. I switch between windows and linux a lot.

    My understanding is that it worked at one time years ago but no longer does.

    Zero chance of this happening. Despite the vocal fanbois, Linux on the desktop is simply not viable.

    I disagree while Windows and iOS do have the lion share of the PC OS based Linux and all the flavors that makes up the Linux Community is seeing an increase in usage.  I mean even Windows have seen the light and is doing a "Windows Subsystem for Linux",  see attached link (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about).  The main reason for much of this is because Android based systems are a direct pipe of a Linux Kernel., guess what Adobe is on many of the Android devices and even is used on SmartTVs that run Android TV.

      to this he's wrong about the lower price. it's smaller size/download and less resources so more RAM to be left over. I'm by no means professional or close but that's the best I can explain it. I'm also trying to host my own server and websites and Linux is easier to "publicate" to the web than Windows but all my programs for design and stuff are on Windows. The new sublinux seems great so as of now I'm just waiting until I can get a Windows 11 computer to mod. Im also switching from DDR3 to DDR4 so the entire process is going to have to wait.

        Adobe should get on board and roll out the rest of their software.

          Adobe purchased the makers of Substance. There is no guarantee that Adobe will continue to support the Linux version of Substance.

           

          NB: I do not work for Adobe. I do not speak for Adobe. I have no influence on Adobe's decisions. I do not know what their plans for Substance are.

          Linux has plenty of free PDF readers. What would Acrobat Reader give you that they don't? This is why Adobe gave up Reader on Linux over 10 years ago.

          I am counting on:

          Lightroom Classic - There is Darktable, grate software but sometimes I cant get exact colours as I want.

          Photoshop - There is a Gimp, and I was shockt it's so good, but there is no properity layers as Affinity or Photoshop has, but there is frequancy separation witch is best for retouching.
