I love that this comic is already a meme.
BTW which distro is best for running Adobe??? I really need Photoshop on my laptop. EDIT: /s, and also I guess the joke doesn't actually work here lol
https://github.com/hypnotiger/photoshop-on-linux or If you have low end device then use CS6 version of Adobe Software with Wine. Ofcourse, You can *arrrr them.
VMWare workstation is now free for Linux!!!!
Just run windows 10 LTSB!
Oh? That's pretty cool.
Ew, no. I will never do that. I was completely joking about Adobe and expecting links to the GIMP repo lol.
LOL, I was thinking you were serious and I started finding more guides and script to install Photoshop on Linux after replying to you. I was ready for your reply like "Can you give me more info about script? Or I want to install a *arrr version?".
Haha. Well I appreciate that you and others are so willing to help! The old "get lost and RTFM" stereotype is really feeling antiquated here.
I mean, nothing beats the Adobe suite for doing creative stuff. I really wish they offered CC on Linux.
Yeah... GIMP is a joke compared to Photoshop, just find a copy of CS6 😉
Oh I won't dispute that. I have a close friend in the graphics and video field where Adobe CC is indispensable.
But that's not what I do. For anything I need to edit, GIMP and Pixlr are more than sufficient.
My joke was that in the old days of tech forums, I feel like there was almost a kneejerk reaction among the GNU/Linux diehards to ditch closed source at any cost, and if you didn't you weren't worth their time or compassion (like the sharks in the comic here).
Also, I'm not sure the comparison is entirely fair because I kinda doubt the budget and manpower behind GIMP are even in the same galaxy as Photoshop.
Yeah, I really wanted to like GIMP. I'm a huge Debian / Ubuntu fan and love OSX as well. Like for dev work, Linux is amazing, best tool for that job hands down.
I might try DaVinci resolve, cause running Premiere in a VM, I don't think will work well.
And yeah, the Linux community can be super elitist unfortunately, nerds that gatekeep their niche...
Like, when did a operating system become a core personality trait? Folks treat it like a sports team. 🤔
I get flack for liking Ubuntu and Mac 😑
I don't know, but I would try a distro that is also recommended for gaming, because you will likely need an up to date version of WINE or something similar.
So maybe endeavour or Pop!_OS?
From my personal (very noobish) experience, it might be necessary to run a virtual machine with Windows. However, this experience is from before the Steam Deck and Proton, which improved the whole software biotope by a lot.
I already run Endeavour and don't actually need any proprietary Adobe software, but thanks :)
I was wondering if you were joking :D
but apparently I guessed wrong.
Windows 11
I saw it on c/comics and realised it could be a meme.
