![]() ![]() I use Windows for FL Studio only, but now need it for Lightroom and Photoshop. It's a niche product, and what's important is what their actual audience wants, not on what platform everyone else runs Solitaire. But I could switch to elementary in less than a day, if there were a reason to do so.Īnswering another thread, it doesn't really matter what OS runs on the most machines or what the casual user feels comfortable using, because Adobe CC is not a tool for the casual user. Because the distribution doesn't really matter. Let's leave for now that they tend to be binary compatible, I stipulate that Adobe could support *any* desktop version of Linux - Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Deepin, elementary, and their customers who want to use Linux would convert to that. (Windows 8.) We've reached the point where the OS doesn't really matter anymore, so there's no reason to struggle with the issues of Windows or break the bank buying Mac gear.Īnd yes there's "many different versions of Linux". In the meantime, Windows and OSX are high enough up on the curve that they struggle to provide new compelling features in successive releases. The only difference is that Linux improved more recently than those other two platforms, so everyone (and those who continue to spread FUD) still think of Linux as that horrible command line thing where nothing works. Linux on the desktop was a rocky experience initially, but so was Windows and so was Mac OS. The days of Linux being a PITA on the desktop are long past. And it's about to drive me away from Adobe. Every other tool is either already ported to Linux (sometimes works *better* on Linux) or is a cloud based tool that works out of a browser. And the really annoying thing is, Adobe Creative Cloud is the *only* thing I use Windows for. I don't care about style or pretty brushed metal, or really expensive stylish looking monitors, I just want to get my work done. ![]() I could buy or build a much more powerful Windows box for less money. I gave up on Apple when they started getting into a pi$$ing contest with Adobe on how the touch pad should work, and at the same time Apple's prices got frankly outrageous. You're talking to someone who originally used Photoshop on a Mac G4. ![]()
