  You just need to realize that Adobe doesn’t release their stuff on Linux, because it doesn’t allow them to, but Linux desktop market share is too small.

  It’s a chicken and egg problem. Once Adobe would release their stuff, magically there would be a massive movement to improve HDR support, color accuracy etc.

  And you need to realize Microsoft achieved such a giant market share thanks to illegal monopolistic practices in 90s, that still have huge impacts today.

    That doesn’t change the reality that I will go where Photoshop is available.

    That, and Gimp is quite a capable photo editing tool.

      Gimp is not that good, and not even close to being a Photoshop replacement.

        It’s not a perfect replacement, and I never claimed as such. But for most people’s needs, gimp is perfectly capable.

    I don’t care who or where the problem or source is. I will buy the platform where Photoshop is used, and as a result it will likely inform every other decision about my daily driver. It’s really that simple.

      Then why would Adobe ever move?

      • iegod@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Why do they need to? To capture 3% of a market that hates proprietary anyway? Come on.

  Photoshop runs reasonably well under Wine now, if you follow this guide: github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux
