I’m keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I’m just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I’m guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I’m having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.
I’m generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven’t really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.
VM is your best bet for adobe stuff. You’d need GPU passthrough for proper hardware acceleration annoyingly.
Maybe dualbooting from Windows for those might be better until Proton and WINE can get resources to support Adobe stuff again!
Aren’t there programs to window-ify vm apps? Like looking glass
