Hey there! Thanks for the suggestion.
We're engaging with dozens of major vendors of traditional/proprietary software about delivering their software onto Ubuntu via Snaps -- which is a new packaging format that solves many of the traditional problems associated with proprietary software working well on Linux.
I'm going to ask Evan Dandrea and Michael Hall from Canonical to engage with Adobe around CS and anything else in their suite that might make sense to Snap.
Cheers!

- monort 10y agoAdobe Photoshop CS6 works almost perfectly in wine, but Photoshop CC isn't working. Probably, it can be fixed easily.
- ChajusSaib 10y agoI'll have to disagree with you there. There are still many bugs and it's slower than on Windows. I would much prefer to have it without installing Wine.
- mhall119 10y agoYou can create a snap with Wine and a windows application together, which is one route this might go. However, because Photoshop isn't open source, we wouldn't have a legal ability to distribute it.
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoIf we were in the same room right now, I'd give you, Evan, and Michael all a big hug. We'd all feel awkward afterwards. It would be worth it. But seriously, thanks for giving it some consideration. Fingers crossed.
- greenhatman 10y agoI think for many web front-end developers, the only thing keeping them on Mac, is not being able to use Adobe tools on Linux.
- kahnpro 10y agoI'm sure there are so many web devs, myself included, who would use Ubuntu professionally if only tools like Adobe and Sketch worked on it. I know it's not directly Ubuntu's problem, but solving this problem will go a looooong way towards developer adoption.
