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)

    The bitter reality is that Linux doesn't have a noteworthy market share on desktop PCs. Right now, it's about ~2.48%. As long as this won't change drastically in the future, Adobe just won't waste their time porting software to it.

    macOS is ~ 15% (Mac lovers, designers, equipment quality and a litle bit as a luxury for the middle class)

    iOS ~ 3% (as above)

    Windows ~ 70% (of unconscious users; PC gamers, users do not accept Apple's non-compliance policy; or there is no alternative for them because there is no software they need for Linux) *


    My guess is that more than half of Adobe users have macOS, the rest are PC advanced users, so it seems to me that the system split between Adobe users is drastically different than the rest of the market.

    I have an iPad PRO 12.9 and I love it for its colors, but I hate it for its incompatibility and I have Windows because I have to and Linux for almost 2 years and it surprised me that it is intuitive, looks nice and it is fast.
