Curious about the stability of using Photoshop with Wine or a VM. Photoshop and Marvelous Designer are the only apps I use that aren’t on linux. I wonder if using Wine for Photoshop would be simplified if people try a version like m0nkrus that doesn’t require the creative cloud.

It probably is possible to pirate an old version of photoshop and get it running under wine. Like other commenters have noted Krita and Gimp are becoming more viable all of the time.

My photo editing skills are too novice level to notice missing features in the linux alternatives but I'm sure they exist. Although part of me does wonder if some of the barrier to people adopting these is that they are photoshop "power users" who do a lot based on muscle memory... maybe the features aren't all missing but the interface is just too different to feel "complete".

No there are still legitimately essential things that Gimp lacks like adjustment layers. I hear they’re releasing this exact feature soon though. So, hopefully it will have parity with minimum viable photoshop VERRRRY soon.

Ps. Fuck Adobe.

Yeah I could believe that. Like I mentioned my knowledge of photo editing is basically 0!

Its funny but what i miss the most in Gimp is the ability to freely rotate the cropping tool. Its the one thing that breaks it for me
