  There is literally a “photoshop UI” plugin for GIMP, did you try it?

    I was not aware. I’ll give that a try, thanks

    Winboat is not even close to being stable enough to recommend.

    Didn’t GIMP release an entire UI overhaul earlier this year?

      Some people have muscle memory, like this user, so it makes sense that they could use the plugin’s help.

  I have a windows VM for Adobe products, etc. Works fine for my usecase. If you need full GPU Acceleration (e.g. for Premiere), it gets a bit more complicated, but is doable still, as long as you have an iGPU or second GPU.

  For work or personal use?

  If its for work then consider having two machines, using windows for the work machine and Linux for the personal one.

  This may not suit you, but for me and my skills, it’s a perfect Photoshop clone. All in the browser! Blows the doors off Gimp anyway.

  I think the affinity suite can run via wine, but that’s the closest you’re going to get you Photoshop on Linux.

    There’s still some retraining needed to go from CS to Affinity Suite, but I did it around 5 years ago and would never go back. And now Affinity 3 is effectively free for basic use. Of course, this is probably the beginning of the end for it as Canva attempts not-a-subscription services on the Affinity platform (making it freemium), but I expect my Affinity 2 suite will still work for years to come.

  My legitimate copy of Photoshop CS6 works flawlessly with wine. But if you run the latest version it’s a different story
