PR, so you’d have to build Wine manually to make this patch work, but still incredible progress.
My hope is that within the next year or so, we’ll get some of these major Windows/Mac only apps running without having to run through virtualization.
Maybe the patch will get merged in.
Nice, do DAWs next! 😍
Reason kinda works
sadly it got bought by some AI company so probably not moving in the direction we want
Ableton kinda runs under Bottles. 🤷♂️
Yeah, as does Reaper, though I really want a modern version of Cubase to work.
Awesome progress, can’t wait until Illustrator, InDesign and Photosop can all run well on Linux ✨ Adobe’s lack of support is like 70% the reason why I haven’t switched to Linux yet.
You mean pirated Photoshop, right? :D

Affinity can run on linux: https://affinity.liz.pet/v2/1-intro/
There’s really only two programs that make moving to Linux very problematic for me, that’s Photoshop, and Word.
At least with word I can ultimately just sequester that into a VM, or learn a different document program if push comes to shove (RIP all my workflows for citations and templates).
But PS is pretty much non-negotiable, it needs GPU acceleration of a native environment to run well, and there just aren’t any alternatives that can do what PS does — I need real channel support (painting on channels, copying between them per layer, actual alpha support instead of naive transparency) and more. As much as I hate Adobe, PS is one of those tools that I just know intuitively, all the texture or photo manipulation work feels entirely natural, and I just don’t think I’m going to find that ever again.
So, if Linux people can get it working through Wine, it’s a huge relief that I can finally leave the Microslop ecosystem.
Word is a terrible requirement. Look into onlyoffice, libreoffice or tex.
Not a requirement, but a preference.
Onlyoffice looks like it might be good, I’ll give it a try.
Can’t stand libreoffice, it feels much like Office 2007 which was the worst version I ever had to use — fixed with 2013 and 2016, but libre hasn’t caught up.
E: Found freeoffice which looks to have much closer parity to MS Office. I don’t have a problem buying perpetual software licenses in these situations. I’d prefer FOSS, but for productivity software it has to be conducive to getting work done.
Why are you demanding word
That’s impressive. I have no use for it, but I know many who might.
I never expected something to work thanks to JavaScript, but wow here we are.
I hope this forces an Affinity build for Linux.
Does this include adobe substance? Substance are the only adobe programs I need.
