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.

So removing an option is somehow increasing choices?

My comment was more about how I feel. Wine is a choice. It's a choice to turn off better choices out there. It's a choice to not be strong and not take the leap to other open source alternatives. It's a choice to keep putting money in the oligarch's pocket.

My comment is to encourage people to turn off their fears and make that leap. It's to encourage people to try out the alternatives and support the open source community.

But wine is also a choice for when you're forced to use an app that your company or client requires. But if your not the that category I encourage you to try out the open source alternative.

My comment is also based on the fact that making corporate apps more accessible and mainstreamed to Linux makes better (designed) apps less supported and less robust.
