For AIGC, Linux system is really necessary and it cannot be replaced by Windows. Some (or a lot, around me) designers use Linux to generate some basic content and then use Illustrator to do more works, its tough to change between two operating system usually, so if Adobe can support Linux, we will be able to conveniently use it. And this kind of workflow is increasing rapidly. We are not going to drop Illustrator, because of habit, but we are discussing about seeking for alternatives.
And for developing: Modern Linux/GNU system now have much more progress on graphic and display, with Wayland and Pipewire support. Flatpak also allow developer release only one version for all distros. Since Adobe already support MacOS, the new file system will not be a totally new work.
Also: GIMP finished their tough upgrading from GTK2 to GTK3 and rebuild their codes, it is really being a productive tool, if Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and other software still settle with Windows, It will gradually be replaced. Not in tens of years, but in several years.
