P: Provide support for Linux (2011)

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I was wondering if Adobe released any Photoshop versions for Linux? Because I looked everywhere in Adobe's site but I could not find any information.

You built a machine that crashes twice a day? Congratulations on that...

Quit whining and just get a Mac.

and this is why this thead is supposed to be locked.

I'm a, agree -  The interoperability that brought by AI ( that started in mass-scale ) last year and web technology stanadard - brings good news to provaide Desktop/Mobile/PaaS/SaaS to Any OS

It would be wrong to move current discussions into a locked thread.

@davescm per team this thread is to remain locked. The subject has a definitive answer.

Are you saying you agree that the other thread should never have been merged into this one?

I have worked in the computer systems field for over 60 years before retiring. I have worked in early Data Entry, and then as a programmer, systems engineer., and technician.  I was a software engineer developing the OS on a military "minicomputer" project in the early 70s that was smaller than the original IBM PC.  I was also one of the 1st to use the early LINUX OS developed by Linus Torvalds and I helped develop the 1st software for a "Radiation Treatment Planning System" for cancer therapy.  I was an early adopter of the early Apple computers and the IBM PC when it first arrived.

I still use LINUX on my primary SERVER, some workstations, and laptops.  LINUX is still a great OS for servers and for other workstations.  This comment is being written on a small HP Server running "Debian LINUX".  LINUX is still one of the most used OS on small (and many larger) servers, and is far from dead!

I believe the primary reason that Adobe has dropped support for LINUX is due to their inability to buy the "rights" to the OS!  They seem to be buying up all the software they can get!  I have always liked most  Adobe products, but they can't have everything!  I will continue to use LINUX for my servers and on some workstations!  I do use MS Windows on some machines, but mostly small laptops.  I certainly hope that others will not just drop LINUX, but will continue to support Adobe products where they choose.  ADOBE should reconsider their moves and the people and support they will lose!

Dropping support for Linux?

Photoshop was never released for Linux - only Mac and Windows operating systems. Adobe staff have confirmed on several occasions that they have no plans to support Linux.

Adobe does not make software for Linux because they (likely correctly) project that the cost would far exceed the revenue from a port. Its a business decision.

I think their chances of buying the rights to Windows and Apple operating systems aren't any better.

Apple could eat Adobe for a snack between meals...people really don't realize how big Apple is. They're second only to Saudi Aramco.

But watch out for Nvidia! AI has really put a rocket under them, and some say they might overtake Apple. If I were a gambling man, that's where my 100 bucks would go 😉

There was a version for Silicon Graphics IRIX, but I think that stopped after v3.0

Which particular Adobe software are you referring to?

I believe Adobe has produced some software like the Acrobat Reader, Flash, Air and a

few others for Linux operating systems.
