Add Linux Support
It would be great if the Adobe Apps were fully cross-platform compatible. We already have Mac support so the precedent further *Nix OS support seems reasonable. This would help me immensely as this barrier is the ONLY thing that keeps me tied to both Mac OS and Windows in addition to Ubuntu. Currently I have to deal with either:
1. A shoddy WINE installation of the aging CS6 apps
2. A windows VM which is painful for the type of development work I do around Illustrator
This would also lead to some further cost / performance benefits with the systems I work on too, as those are currently locked to Windows enviros which are costly in-and-of themselves.

After 30+ years of running Windows installs in our SMB (desktops / servers) its days are now numbered for us due to the huge issues with forced Windows 11 upgrades and the reported changes coming with Windows 12 soon (later 2026?) We will be dumping MS for good at that juncture. For now, it’s either Linux or Mac's.
We are leaning towards the former by a big margin, but NOT if we can't get the main Adobe Apps (Photoshop via Bridge support / Lightroom / Illustrator / Premier to run natively on the Linux kernel or fully supported LKM's. That would be the single biggest catalyst for our SMB to dump Windows for good! We're a group of creators who are looking to get MS out of our lives for good as they are going down the wrong path these days! Without native Adobe support in Linux, then we'd have to jump ship to Mac’s, which is not that big of deal, other than for costs!

This is the time to bring the Adobe world to Linux. Microsoft is increasingly distancing itself from user needs, forcing them to be mere tools for training its AI. Linux is growing steadily and has certainly begun to become a viable alternative to Windows and Mac OS, even from a commercial perspective. Come on, Adobe, show that you're truly revolutionary and forward-thinking; bring the entire suite to Linux.

We have at home Adobe CC, but with recent Windows updates, I've been reinstalling the OS and all my wife's apps because, let's be hones, MS is dying, hard.
I cannot migrate her computer to Linux because she's heavily dependent on Adobe applications for work and her school job.
Please Adobe. Do de switch.

Windows is an increasingly poor and surveillance enforcing OS that the market is migrating away from. Even if the numbers are low now, they will only increase in the future, as Microsoft will never make an OS that is NOT entirely about profit.
MacOS is also a terribly expensive ecosystem that many just will not pay for, although it does provide better user experience (Based on Linux). Those users are currently stuck on Windows too.
Naturally, Linux will become more mainstream and attract more and more users, as it's doing already in 2025-2026. We are and will see more distros that just work out of the box and are more user-friendly.
It's CRITICAL Adobe introduces support for the creative cloud. For a lot of people this is the last thing keeping them from fully switching to an OS that respects their privacy, money and hardware resources. On Linux, there's already:
- Davinci Resolve
- Blender
- Gaming (Steam OS and others)
- Suite of non-Adobe creative apps
- OthersThe only thing remaining would be the Adobe Creative Suite and it's high time this company invests some of it's 'world class profitability' into supporting the next major OS shift, ideally ahead of time, not years after it happens.

Yes please!
I am currently running a separate Windows 11 installation exclusively for Adobe applications.
Windows 11 will be the final version of Windows I am willing to run. Once it reaches end of life, I will no longer dual-boot Windows.If Adobe products are still unavailable on Linux at that point, I will transition fully to open-source alternatives, even if they are significantly inferior. I am firmly committed to not running an AI-centric version of Windows, not even as a dual-boot environment.

Well, have been thinking about this. A native port, be it a flatpak or appimage would be fantastic for cross-distro compatibility due to how different distros implement different de's, or strict adherance to multiple distros like Ubuntu and variants, (like Kubuntu, even Mint) to Fedora. I think all of us would quickly install the correct DE to run Adobe in.
Even if not native, work with Valve to make Adobe CC to work in Proton, be it Adobe's own implementation or through steam to ensure their DRM.
The more time I work within Windows the more I am reconsidering Adobe applications as a whole in my workflow.

I'd love to go to Linux for more controle over the software that runs on my computer. The only thing holding me back is that there isn't native support for Adobe create suite, running it in virtual machines with windows isn't ideal.

I fully moved over to Linux earlier in the year in response to Microsoft's push to convert Windows into a AI fueled data aggregation platform. Windows 11 is not only incredibly buggy, but incredibly invasive in nature; I need an OS to be a normal OS, and I need my processing power to focus on creative tasks not AI bloat.
The lack of Adobe Creative Cloud on Linux is a large pain point for me, but ultimately necessary given Microsoft's demands. So it would be a welcome and much appreciated surprise to see Adobe move forward with Linux.

I am in 100% agreement for the support of adobe apps for the linux, we are a marketing agency and linux is the main system we use for the operations.
