Developer Claims Photoshop Installers Now Work on Linux Using Wine (linuxiac.com)

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.

Well... Youtubers (and other creatives) are the main awareness funnel for everyday people to hear about linux in the first place.

Creatives are typically stuck on windows because their workflow doesn't work on linux. And yes, they can change their workflow, but there's also a high time + effort cost to doing that which gets even higher for them since they still need to produce their works while switching.
