I’m waiting for baited breath for ONE work-related app to have a Linux version before jumping ship on my main computer.

Linux is on every other platform at my home, I just want to be 100% free :(

    It’s the Adobe Creative Suite, I have to use it for my job. Many warriors have valiantly fought to try to get Photoshop to teeter onto WINE, but I have yet to see anyone get the entire suite into a stable state. There is that AENux thing that someone is trying to do for After Effects, but it’s still in super early stages… done by one developer for probably Adobe’s most resource demanding app.

    All the other apps I rely on can either run on WINE or have their Native Versions. I’m tied to either Windows or Mac for my main desktop until then.

      At some point, one might consider a remote desktop setup. It’s easier to get a strong GPU that way, anyway.

      Also… you can dual boot.

      Have you considered using a VM?

      Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.

      In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.

      But sequence based editors… Yeah, it’s tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.

      I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don’t want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.

      I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.

      But Krita is pretty good.

        I’m not arguing that there’s isn’t better alternatives that CAN run on Linux for most of Adobe’s apps (Inkscape has gotten really good, and I love Krita), but its what the industry has settled for their standard.

        But on top of that, since I work a ton in After Effects, there hasn’t really been a real alternative to it. You can have Blender do some of the things in it, and Davinci in some other things, but its a bloated beast of mixed use-cases all in one fancy app that nobody has really attempted to replicate.

          Yeah, that’s what I said. For sequence editors you’re in trouble. Specially if you have to share files with others.

          That’s why fuck adobe. Fuck them 100 million times. I hope all their ceos and shareholders and whatnot die a slow, painful death.

          Same to microsoft, 3dsmax and others, but adobe is a personal pain.
