The inability to use Adobe Creative Cloud on Linux is often cited as a major barrier for many users considering a switch to the platform. But perhaps, just perhaps, there has already been a breakthrough in that direction.

A community developer says they have resolved long-standing Wine compatibility issues that prevented Adobe Creative Cloud installers from completing on Linux, publishing a patchset and prebuilt binaries that they claim enable installation of Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025.

    Maybe people will shut the fuck up about Photoshop not working on Linux now. (Not saying it’s not a valid complaint, I just get tired of hearing it.)

      “Nooo you shouldn’t have to update apps from terminal. AVERAGE USER is too scared. They will never be able to remember like three letters. AVERAGE USER is dumb you see. They want to be babied by their own computer. AVERAGE USER also doesn’t know how to google for alternatives. It’s just the typical AVERAGE USER.
      Anyway, adobe photoshop…”

        God I get so frustrated when people argue on the behalf of these mythical other people, but you seldom to never actually see anyone arguing this as something they’d like.

        Like just say you’d like things to be easier for you to use, it’s a valid statement.
