    I personally never want to touch anything Adobe ever again, but for my father’s and grandfather’s use cases, they still need it, so if it ends up working well, maybe it’ll finally allow them to use Linux.

      exactly! i tried linux couple of years ago and loved it, i used to dual boot, but i couldnt get the adobe suit running so i just gave up since i rely on it for my job. its not like i love adobe or something, i hate it, but i absolutely need it for my job so i cant really switch, so im stuck on windows. if linux supported the apps that i need like adobe suit and some 3d programs then i would switch asap

      switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games

      Why would they want to do that? If there’s sufficient demand, companies like Adobe have enough billions in change to fund that effort.

    That means people need to have another excuse for not using GNU/Linux even though they complain 24/7/365 about Windows.

      No, it means I can install Photoshop and InDesign for the couple times a year I need to edit a file in my line of work, and I no longer need to boot into Windows twice a year just to use them.

      This is amazing news!

        FWIW .psd support in GIMP is getting pretty good. Not sure what your use case is but it might be worth checking out if you haven’t used it for a while.

      I’ve used random Linux based video editors in the past, like 15-17 years ago. They were… Not great.

      Later, I did a handful of projects with premier pro CS6, really liked it.

      It’s been almost a decade since I’ve done any video editing, until literally a few hours ago when I needed to make a simple wedding video for my friend. Cut together a couple camera angles, some PiP, do some color correction, a couple fades and one linear swipe transition.

      I’m running Bluefin, so I went the path of least resistance, and just checked the flatpack catalog for the highest rated and most downloaded video editor.

      That was kdenlive. I found it to be fairly user friendly, and powerful enough for my needs. The GUI reminds me of CS6, though it’s been awhile since I used it, so that may be less true than I’m remembering.

      Hardware acceleration for encoding didn’t work on my AMD 7840U, but… I didn’t try very hard. Maybe there’s a workaround, and it may not even be the programs fault.

      Take my recommendation with a grain of salt, because again, this isn’t my world, and I did zero research haha. Kind of funny that this post is the first one I stumble across after finishing that project.

        Would you mind rereading your first sentence?

        Random? 17 years ago?

    If someone can get DXO PureRaw and Lightroom to work on Linux, I’ll switch immediately and won’t look back.

    This post only mentions that the installer works, but does the actual application work? Don’t get me wrong, the installer working is still progress.
