But there are Windows users who pirate it and don't pay now. I'm sure there are Linux users out there who won't pay for Photoshop. I'm currently arguing at work to pay someone $50/hr to run Illustrator for a week so that I don't have to buy it and use it on Windows or Mac. Have a great day, to whoever might be reading this, and I hope you will be one of the first companies that joins in on the upcoming potential Linux-revolution!

I know there is Fedora/RHEL, Ubuntu/Canonical and those, but the biggest change their companybacking has made is implementing Amazon-ads (if you ignore the fact that linux-enthusiasts can get paid to do what they love etc, but that is not the point here). It would be really great if you could at least consider this (maybe cram it in some monday-morning-meeting?), not only will your userbase slightly grow, but it will help open up the Linux OS's great capabilities and potential, as well as futureproofing your product in case this behaviour goes mainstream.Īs you might already know Linux is not a companybacked stable closed project, but largely maintained by the users itself and its different distribution-branches, which makes it hard to reach out to big companies like yourself. I know Wine have been the solution for running photoshop on linux, but it works really bad on later versions, also it doesnt give the stability serious work needs.
#Adobe flash cs6 linux software
Since Microsoft's change of direction (going from stable work desktops to touchpads and mobile solutions) have made future software compatability uncertain, more and more developers have started looking into supporting Linux (Valve is one of those companies, with the Steam Platform).Īs a systemdeveloper myself I think it wouldn't be too hard to make this happen technically, since Adobe programmers already have knowledge in linux-development (Flashplayer for one), also Photoshop already uses the QT-library, which is highly supported under Linux.


I am wondering since I think it would be a great thing to consider.
