Who knows what bugs in other programs this fixed. This is great news!
too late, I’m FOSS-pilled now.
FOSS is all about choice, isn’t it?
I would say it’s mainly about being free and open source.
In the freedom to modify software is implicitly stated the freedom to release competing works.
What do you think FOSS stands for?
I know that FOSS stands for Free (as in the freedoms defined by the Free Software Foundation) and Open Source (as defined by the Open Source Definition) Software.
That should also be free software, which Adobe products aren’t
Not if your choice is to give money to an evil company that writes proprietary software
It depends on the judge.
I used Krita for the first time the other day and it was a lot more slick than Gimp. Not a professional though, just got a hobbyist interest in graphic design.
yeah I only recommend krita now, GIMP works but it is not easy to learn
I only discovered Krita in the last couple of years and have been using it almost entirely instead of Gimp. Also not a professional, mostly use it for ttrpg stuff like maps and character or vehicle tokens, but it has been a lot smoother for me. I have never used photoshop, so I can’t compare to that though.
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.
the application has worked for some time; it just required a windows copy or piracy to actually get the application files
Rude.
next time ask nicely
Okay well, lightroom Classic is the last thing I’m booting into Windows for. I’ve tried a few times to get into Darktable but the learning curve is steep and blah blah blah. Could you please expound on your earlier comment? If there’s a trick for getting Adobe software to play nicely it could be life changing for me. Are you saying that the software installs fine with Wine/Proton, the issue is the installer/Creative Cloud? Thank you so much!!!
it’s a bit of a pain, but this post here offers an in-depth explanation how to set up photoshop CC 2024, and should be adaptable to other adobe software and more recent versions.
alternatively, if you don’t mind using a version that’s a few years out of date (but well tested and supported), this script streamlines the whole setup process and has been successfully used to accommodate lightroom.
i hope this all helps. good luck!
Explain.
The real question is whether the Affinity installer works. Adobe can get lost.
Darwin I hope Canva keeps it clean.
And I speak as someone that did just start subscribing to Canva AI from inside Affinity this month.
I think the problem with Fusion360 under Wine is similar to this one - the software will work fine once you get in, but verifying your account for the launch (or install) just doesn’t communicate with the website correctly. Here’s hoping this passes muster and gets adopted into Wine for general public use, as I bet this will help a lot more than just Adobe products run under Wine.
Can anyone recommend a native Linux app similar to Premiere Pro?
Here’s a video about kdenlive
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?
Random? 17 years ago?
What’s the issue here?
17 years is prehistory in IT years. Basing your comments on experiences from nearly 2 decades ago is just plain useless
That was just giving context to my limited experience with video editors.
If you read further you’ll see I talk about using CS6, and finally, most recently, kdenlive.
Did you stop reading his comment after that sentence?
I think KDEnlive is good as well, definitely the least terrible FOSS one. I never used Premiere Pro on that advanced a level, but for basic effects, keyframes, and title cards, it does quite well.
The main proprietary, “professional” one on Linux is Da Vinci Resolve, but I’ve never used it on Linux, since KDEnlive is just fine for me.
Honestly, in my opinion, every video editor is terrible to some extent; it’s having to deal with enormous amounts of data every second more than almost any other program on a computer, and even a semi-usable editor is a mind-bogglingly impressive feat.
DaVinci Resolve or Kdenlive.
100% DaVinci Resolve. It’s a full-bleed, professional solution on top of a large hardware ecosystem.

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
deleted by creator
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.
deleted by creator
Solid works, Inventor, Bambu, Fussion, Orca Slicer, ProgeCAD, AutomationDirect software too
I think that’s all I have on my laptop

I use it on Linux. Crashy but it works.
I just googled “does Adobe run on Linux” yesterday and saw it doesn’t…
This is great news but my cc already updated to 2026 and I am not in a position to pirate atm
Until Adobe patch’s the installer and licencing server to prevent it from working at all. (Too cynical?)
They would be spending money on losing money at this point. There is literally zero benefit for them at n doing that and this point.
The floodgates are now officially open.
My thoughts as well. At least we can be cynical together.
My name is notthatyougiveafuck, and I approve this message. Also, fuck Adobe.
Who need licensing for Adobe products?
I am way too happy using GIMP now to make use of this.
Same, but Krita
I haven’t gone too deep with Krita yet but I did try out some digital painting in it a few months ago and the brushes and brush dynamics were really nice to use.
There are some things I still can’t get used to - the “Photosphop compatible” keybinds still aren’t 1:1 with Photoshop, and the way that several tools have been replaced by brushes just feels weird to me.
That said, it is MUCH more natural for me to use that GIMP.
Me too, up top! Recent releases made some really good improvements on ui and editing, too. Good times.
Gross
That means people need to have another excuse for not using GNU/Linux even though they complain 24/7/365 about Windows.
Still no autocad on Linux. Freecad works, but importing dwg files from autocad, which almost everyone uses, is always messy.
gimme after effects on linux and ill be happy
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!
deleted by creator
They are up my alley, I use them personally.
I receive the Adobe files and I modify them slightly and send them back.
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.
People have very good reasons for not switching to Linux. Not everyone is a computer/software enthusiast. Most people dont want to deal with the different for the heck of it, especially when the current solution works well enough (which windows does no matter how much we like to shit on it for fair reasons.)
Great news for bloatware enthusiasts ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ
More like great news for all of those people trapped on windows due to needing that software for work who can now make the switch
butter smooth
Butter smooth and adobe should never belong in the same sentence.
