PR, so you’d have to build Wine manually to make this patch work, but still incredible progress.

My hope is that within the next year or so, we’ll get some of these major Windows/Mac only apps running without having to run through virtualization.

When’s the next story about Adobe sending a cease and desist letter for using their software in an unapproved manner. 3… 2… 1……

There's really only two programs that make moving to Linux very problematic for me, that's Photoshop, and Word.

At least with word I can ultimately just sequester that into a VM, or learn a different document program if push comes to shove (RIP all my workflows for citations and templates).

But PS is pretty much non-negotiable, it needs GPU acceleration of a native environment to run well, and there just aren't any alternatives that can do what PS does — I need real channel support (painting on channels, copying between them per layer, actual alpha support instead of naive transparency) and more. As much as I hate Adobe, PS is one of those tools that I just know intuitively, all the texture or photo manipulation work feels entirely natural, and I just don't think I'm going to find that ever again.

So, if Linux people can get it working through Wine, it's a huge relief that I can finally leave the Microslop ecosystem.

Awesome progress, can't wait until Illustrator, InDesign and Photosop can all run well on Linux ✨ Adobe's lack of support is like 70% the reason why I haven't switched to Linux yet.

You mean pirated Photoshop, right? :D

As an alternative to Adobe, the Affinity suite also works well with Wine. And we can hope for a native version.

Affinity can run on linux: https://affinity.liz.pet/v2/1-intro/

I never expected something to work thanks to JavaScript, but wow here we are.

That’s impressive. I have no use for it, but I know many who might.

I hope this forces an Affinity build for Linux.

Does this include adobe substance? Substance are the only adobe programs I need.
