I'm pretty happy with the way CS6 works with PlayOnLinux(Ubuntu 16.04, Wine 1.7.24-CS-0.9.1-DXHR). It's not perfect, but I have no problem getting the work done (mostly design). I wouldn't use it for drawing/painting though. If you're interested in doing digital art on linux - I highly recommend checking out Krita. I've discovered it a year ago and was blown away, if you're an artist - it does everything you may need, and works extremely well. ---- Slightly off topic - I'm also quite happy with using linux for the rest of my digital art needs: - Kdenlive is an excellent video editor. Works extremely well, and is pure joy to use. - Nuke and Houdini have native linux versions that work perfectly. I think Maya should work fine too, but I haven't tested that. - Silo 2.5(most recent version) works flawlessly under wine, and is perfect for any 3d modeling. - I don't develop games, but both Unreal and Unity work very well. The point is, several years ago you couldn't realistically use linux for professional 2D/3D work, now you totally can.
