Adobe software on Linux?
Adobe doesn't accommodate case-sensitive file systems on MacOS, which is really confusing.
every singe one ive tried so far works perfectly : illustrator_2020 illustrator_cc_2017 photoshop_2020 photoshop_cc photoshop_cc_2019 photoshop_cc_64bit Acrobat5 the reason for the _ in thenames is so i dont have to escape them , i have all adobe products installed i a single WINEPREFIX, (wich is also a btrfs subvolume and a snapshot of a template prefix subvolume: as wineprefixes ted to get bigger and bigger in size i figured id use the power of cow to manage that) m still figuring out a way to create lnk files in linux in a consistend automated way ,but for now i , just create the following symlinks whitin a prefix to get around the escaping hell of wine: Program_Files => Program Files the link is in teh same folder as the target only every space is replaced by _ for every folder and filename that i need within the prefix as entry point. then i create a folder /exec at the root of the prefix and it holds bash scripts to launch the applications only the top 3 lines need to be adjusted to create a different launcher for another exe within the prefix , (or another the rest can be copied without care) optional drop a folder .meta/icons/ with all icons of the exes at the root of the subv for the notifier : the script in the exec folder looks like: #is named photoshop_2020 (no .sh as i use the name for getting the matchin icon) , and can be run with ./photoshop_2020 (after a chmod +x) #!/usr/bin/env bash INST="Program_Files/Adobe/Adobe_Photoshop_2020/" APPNAME="Adobe_Photoshop_2020" EXE="Photoshop_2020.exe" # path to a .lnk can also be used ################################################################################################ ######################## EDITING BELOW NOT NEEDED IN MOST CASES ############################## ################################################################################################ BTRENV=$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd) #echo $BTRENV SCRNAME="$(basename "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" #echo $SCRNAME ################################################################################################ #APPPATH="$INST/$APPNAME/" ICON=".meta/icons/$SCRNAME.png" CACHE_PATH="/home/$USER/.cache/$APPNAME" RESOURCES_PATH="$BTRENV/resources" WINE_PREFIX="$BTRENV/" #echo $APPPATH #echo $ICON #echo $CACHE_PATH #echo $RESOURCES_PATH #echo $WINE_PREFIX ################################################################################################ notify-send "$APPNAME" "$EXE launched." -i "$BTRENV/$ICON" export WINEPREFIX="$WINE_PREFIX" wine64 "$BTRENV/drive_c/$INST$EXE" ################################################################################################ and as a note on the side got MS Office working aswel version 2010, 1016 , 2019 , not working yet: 365 aswell as Potplayer with X-Input, and Ableton Live 10 Suite. currently working on the script thing to automate more and to work around the spaces and escaping problem using lnk files.
My memory is the main concern about GIMP. The interface feels really poor. (I heard recently that the term 'GUI' is outdated and I should stop using it). The real features are actually quite solid. This makes it more challenging to start, but there are benefits to the extra effort. As someone who finds Photoshop skills quickly outdated, I’d recommend GIMP if you can handle the learning curve. It might take longer, but it works on most systems and is tough to replace with another program. Just having one open USB port makes it even better. If you can use GIMP well and have a good eye, you can tackle any Photoshop-related task that doesn’t rely heavily on plugins.
