      I don’t know, but I would try a distro that is also recommended for gaming, because you will likely need an up to date version of WINE or something similar.

      So maybe endeavour or Pop!_OS?

      From my personal (very noobish) experience, it might be necessary to run a virtual machine with Windows. However, this experience is from before the Steam Deck and Proton, which improved the whole software biotope by a lot.

          I was wondering if you were joking :D
          but apparently I guessed wrong.

        VMWare workstation is now free for Linux!!!

        Oh? That’s pretty cool.

        Just run windows 10 LTSB!

        Ew, no. I will never do that. I was completely joking about Adobe and expecting links to the GIMP repo lol.

          LOL, I was thinking you were serious and I started finding more guides and script to install Photoshop on Linux after replying to you. I was ready for your reply like “Can you give me more info about script? Or I want to install a *arrr version?”.

            Haha. Well I appreciate that you and others are so willing to help! The old “get lost and RTFM” stereotype is really feeling antiquated here.

          I mean, nothing beats the Adobe suite for doing creative stuff. I really wish they offered CC on Linux.

          Yeah… GIMP is a joke compared to Photoshop, just find a copy of CS6 😉

            Oh I won’t dispute that. I have a close friend in the graphics and video field where Adobe CC is indispensable.

            But that’s not what I do. For anything I need to edit, GIMP and Pixlr are more than sufficient.

            My joke was that in the old days of tech forums, I feel like there was almost a kneejerk reaction among the GNU/Linux diehards to ditch closed source at any cost, and if you didn’t you weren’t worth their time or compassion (like the sharks in the comic here).

            Also, I’m not sure the comparison is entirely fair because I kinda doubt the budget and manpower behind GIMP are even in the same galaxy as Photoshop.
