Adobe products: Hello there!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, you can run them with some heavy modding. I've done it with Photoshop 2021 and Premiere 2021. Takes a lot of work and debugging, but it's doable.

That's a solid no for me and most people. I'm working on getting my office above 50% Linux but I'll probably never get to 100%.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Well 50% is good, not bad at all 👍.

Probably an idea as old as time but wouldn’t it work to stream adobe products from a terminal server?

Let me elaborate: two major fronts I’ve seen are “I type data and write emails” types that can easily work on the terminal and “I make heave graphics and video editing and cant work without 4090 gpu” which we usually just leave to it.

Obviously there are more nuances but most should be doable in terminal unless no internet or very bad internet. I’m somewhat hopeful this would work. Everyone has a very efficient linux pc/laptop and the heavy lifting is done by windows vms with adobe suite running on shared A100s. And while they are not used they could be rented out for extra cost efficiency.

Possible, not practical.

I use substance painter and I need it to work. I don't want to spend hours messing around trying to make it work and jumping through hoops.

Wine for DCC is great if you enjoy tinkering with pipelines rather than using them, but impractical for people who are trying to reliably get work done.

Possible, not practical.

Yes, true to be honest.
