    When I first used the Adobe suite it was on a Mac, I assumed it ran best on non-Windows machines. This was in 2005… Why would they have to make it so hard to use on Linux?

    You can skip 3 of these adapters if you upgrade to the latest libraries, downgrade your microcode, turn off WiFi, and bench press a goat. It turns out it was the goat involved I’m the process, rather than the sacrifice, that made that stuff work.

    Say what you will, this is an efficient and elegant way to store your adapters. I’m envious.

    I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.

    I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

      I’m laughing way too hard at this.

      Honestly this is the best answer.

      Like, use the tools that work for your use case?

      I fucking hate macs but man using a video editor on windows was a pain back in the day. Where I would rather set up a server on Linux, than use whatever the hell windows servers operate.

    I love this, buy fuck off with that anti-Linux content on Lemmy.

    We only have few places. :)

    The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”

    (Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)

        It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.

          Gimp is behind on features and ui optimisation and krita is art focused

          It’s far more ethical to make the company lose money

          Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month

          Pirate photoshop

          Delete it

          Pirate again

          Repeat 30 times

          Adobe looses 660$

          If everyone does this adobe will loose so much

            They don’t care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.

            That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.

            Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.

        Yeah, it’s kind of true. I’ve tried a bunch of Lightroom and Photoshop alternatives. Pixelmator and Photomator for iOS and macOS are my absolute favorites. I wish I could get around Affinity software better, but I can do 95% of what I need in Pixelmator. And I love some of the select tools. Bonus: Davinci Resolve is a big switch for Premiere users— but worth it, and even CapCut’s free features can help with the basics.

          Well the obvious answer would be all the professional Photoshop capable things man, we can love Linux and still admit there’s areas for growth

          If you want to edit photos then Affinity is passable, and GIMP is a joke.

          If all you want to do is draw, then Krita is a very capable alternative to Photoshop, but being good at only a specific subset of Photoshop capabilites doesn’t turn it into a replacement for it

      Fuck I’d love an actual equivalent alternative on Windows too. GIMP, while great in the past, is nowhere near modern Photoshop, it’s closer to modern Paint, which is just sad.

      There’s a ton of people and businesses that hate Adobe, the lack of real alternatives is fascinating.

        Krita, rawtherapee, dark table, digikam, affinity. Just depends what you are trying to do. If you’re used to photoshop there’s nothing exactly the same and it will take effort to move but I think it’s worth it, I’m still on the journey of learning as a hobbyist and have mostly been using dark table for photo editing

    I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was “⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐” due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.

    So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.
