From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Running Photoshop/Illustrator (self.linux)

Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?

I've tried working with GPU-passthrough into a Windows VM which doesn't work all that well with my laptop setup (nvidia-AMD hybrid laptop).

Looking up other methods, seems like most of them rely on outdated versions of adobe software. I'd like to get something relatively new running

I used this Photoshop CC installer a couple months ago for v21.2.4 and it got Photoshop installed & running but I personally experienced a lot of bugginess with the UI.

Could be because I'm on Wayland, hadn't tried it on X11 myself. Seems like it worked decently for some other users.

Aside from that installer, though, modern Adobe products tend to be a huge pain to even get running. If Linux alternatives don't cut it for your use case then you might just have to dualboot Windows for those apps to have them fully usable unfortunately.

Maybe try running it on xorg? Cause I have no problem with it on x11 🤔
