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.
No-one is forcing you to install Adobe software. Stop crying about other people liking choices.
Choice is good. Hate is bad.
The opposite. Wine is a crutch stopping people from choice and keeping money in the oligarch’s pocket instead of people to taking the leap and contributing to open source expansion that allows us to have choice. But I think you already knew that and chose to take a cheap shot instead for karma.
Would have taken you more seriously if you made an argument that wine at least allows people to dip their toes in the Linux community but no, you chose to sound like a “badass” instead.
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.
