minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish-6•9 months agoSo skip Windows. Why does anyone need it anymore?
minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish2•9 months agoAll work via Wine. I use each of them. No issues.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoCan Wine run 32bit Windows adobe software?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•9 months agoI haven’t tested those myself, but wine has excellent 32 bit compatibility in general. If it’s on the list at wine hq, then it probably works
minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish-1•edit-29 months agoYes, if you’re on 32-bit hardware. It’s unlikely you are. Backwards compatible binary execution should be fine.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoI have a 32 bit machine that is still in service for this task and some others, but I’d rather run it on a modern machine (m1 mac)
minus-squareVodkaSolution linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoBig files? No issues? They have problems on Win, I can’t imagine on Wine (that I find fine for almost everything else)
minus-square@pycoraxlinkEnglish2•edit-29 months agoGames. I have a Steam Deck so yea I get that Proton works really well now but it’s still not perfect. And also I write software for customers that use Windows so ¯\(ツ)/¯
minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish-6•9 months agoGames aren’t an issue. If you are still in a world where your local machine is a dev environment, that’s a different story. Sorry.
minus-square@CoreidanlinkEnglish3•9 months agoYes games very much are an issue. You are naive and ignorant if you think Linux can play every single game without hang ups. For example if you play iRacing you don’t have much of a choice but to be on windows. You people telling others to get on Linux are tone deaf as fuck.
minus-squareasudoxlinkEnglish2•edit-29 months agoI agree. While I still think Linux is superior overall, software compatibility is mostly about the market share, so Windows is the best for gamers.

Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects :/
