I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.
I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

I was hoping I could plug it into my guitar & watch the sounds on an old computer monitor…
Do you think it would work?
What’s so funny? This is how we played multiplayer Doom in 94.
Photoshop cs2 is
free to downloadand probably works well on wine as its old as hell.Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.
GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.
When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.
I’m sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.
Some people do overestimate how much of the software they’re actually using, and how far back some features go. I learned the little PS I know using a 7.0 license my father bought, I used it for years doing 2D graphics and web “design”, and still basically still have the same workflow with minor differences to avoid destructive changes.
I’ve seen someone using Adobe Acrobat just for splitting PDF documents.
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.
The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”
(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)
“It is always ethical to pirate adobe”
It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.
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.
Voice of reason
I never understood that argument. Do or do not.
Fuck Adobe
Goto www.PhotoPea.com instead. :)
Sadly there is no alternative that is even remotely as capable
It depends on what you do
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
Imagine your livelihood depending on adobe, how do you take yourself seriously?
Use Krita instead
Nah, I prefer my parallel port
You mean that Centronics SCSI terminator?
Ooooor, go to photopea. Dont need to download anything but just open a browser
Yeah… I wouldn’t use any web based tools if I was working on my own art, or anything commissioned for a customer, or anything copyrighted.
Of course, I wouldn’t use Adobe either after the whole AI thing.
Gimp sucks.
And ps works with wine if you have it on windows already and drag over some system32 dlls
It makes memes
Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.
Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.
Granted i havent tried gimp 3. Ill have to give it a try. But im so fast with ps. And i hate how each program needs to have their own control schemes to differentiate.
I just dont get why people hate photoshop to the point of being unhelpful when people ask how to get it working. Especially when many people are pirating it anyways.
It takes a while getting used to anything. Gimp does have a Photoshop keyboard shortcut preset, to ease you into it.
And gimp does have some parts that are better. For example importing a bunch of images and lining them up on a spritesheet is both faster and easier on Gimp. And both Photoshop and gimp have scripts to do this, but I was never able to get the Photoshop script to work.
you shouldn’t waste any time or energy on an adobe product. and if you think that advice is unhelpful then you literally can’t be helped.
Yeah, like that.
The reason I still don’t daily Linux (that and wireless VR streaming doesn’t)
Gimp 3 is amazing.
Found the time traveler!
(The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)
I guess I should have been more specific.
The problem that arises is that you have to remember three different UIs and run them all simultaneously which I’ve measured use up more RAM, which sometimes reduces my efficency and increases my system resources more, instead of using the shit UI of Photoshop that the whole world decided to accept as the defacto standard to duplicate
It is all keyboard shortcuts, though, and you can configure them to all use the same ones. I believe they have a “Photoshop-like” preset you can select too.
About the RAM, I’m not sure what can be done. I guess it is a tradeoff. I’d probably go with more RAM consumption over Photoshop because I have a lot of RAM, but not everyone do. Considering the price of Photoshop if you didn’t pirate it, it would be cheaper to buy and install more RAM, though.
I’ve been using Gimp for simple things, and it’s been OK once I realized that whatever I want to do, I should look it up first instead of just trying to figure it out through trial and error.
It’s life changing when you start to rtfm.
I don’t use Adobe, I make money just fine without it.
It’s hard to make money from Adobe when they charge you £66 a month.

Love the rs232 to scsi adapter that thing is dope.
Me running from DP to HDMI to DP on a family members computer because I had those cables/adapter.
Better than waiting for GIMP to load fonts, I’d wager.
