Running Photoshop/Illustrator

Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?

I’ve tried working with GPU-passthrough into a Windows VM which doesn’t work all that well with my laptop setup (nvidia-AMD hybrid laptop).

Looking up other methods, seems like most of them rely on outdated versions of adobe software. I’d like to get something relatively new running

jaykstah,

I used this Photoshop CC installer a couple months ago for v21.2.4 and it got Photoshop installed & running but I personally experienced a lot of bugginess with the UI.

Could be because I’m on Wayland, hadn’t tried it on X11 myself. Seems like it worked decently for some other users.

Aside from that installer, though, modern Adobe products tend to be a huge pain to even get running. If Linux alternatives don’t cut it for your use case then you might just have to dualboot Windows for those apps to have them fully usable unfortunately.

Maybe try running it on xorg? Cause I have no problem with it on x11 🤔

warmaster,

I’m 40 y/o, I used Photoshop & Illustrator since I was 8 years old. When I moved to Linux I tried everything, and ended up using Photopea.com and Inkscape.

socphoenix,

Honestly probably not I still haven’t been able to get Lightroom 5 to install due to adobe’s jank

kaffeebohne,

You can the same way you can technically run MS Office on Linux. You can manage to get it to start and run but using it for any form of productive use is probably gonna be rough.

merthyr1831,

Hmm. A couple years back someone shared some scripts for running the latest adobe/windows stuff but it didn’t stay maintained for long :/

merthyr1831,

Also… hello! My first post on Lemmy. Which is very cool all things considered. What Reddit should’ve been.
