Curious about the stability of using Photoshop with Wine or a VM. Photoshop and Marvelous Designer are the only apps I use that aren’t on linux. I wonder if using Wine for Photoshop would be simplified if people try a version like m0nkrus that doesn’t require the creative cloud.
My need for the Adobe CC Suite professionally is what keeps me from switching to Linux as a daily driver (currently on macOS). If I could get the latest version running reliably on Linux, I’d love to switch.
I’ve tried the alternatives, and they’re just not good enough for me. I really wish Adobe would port their stuff to Linux.
The best we can ever hope for are CC browser versions. They’ll never create a native Linux port. At least not in the next 10 years. :(
I feel like Pixlr is very very close to being a browser based version of photo shop. But still not quite the same
Boo!
I went in hard.
I’m using Photoshop creative cloud on the web, switched illustrator for Inkscape (the CC version is in alpha stage). Davinci resolve and kdenlive, Scribus sucked so hard that I gave up my InDesign tasks.
Cheers to you, mate, really. I might fiddle with photoshop web…
But I’m on a production timeline most of the time, and I need everything to work and interoperate seamlessly in my workflow, which is part of why CC is so great for me. Plus, I don’t pay for it. If I did, this would be a very different conversation, lol!
I completely get why you’d stick with MacOS if you need CC software. That being said I am very glad about the general lack of anti-user software like Adobe’s suite on Linux and I hope they don’t port their CC software to Linux. Instead I hope FOSS alternatives get better to the point where most PS/CC users can reasonably meet all their needs with free (as in libre) software. GIMP is pretty decent these days although I find it a lot more clunky and awkward to use than PS. But hopefully either the gap can close or some new FOSS developer can create an even better alternative.
