I anxiously anticipate the day that Adobe products are Linux native.

Or even work on case-sensitive macOS partitions. As far as I know, they are the only major mac software to explicitly hold that back.

  They've finally fixed it after 20 years because APFS is case sensitive. But it's been a lovely way for them to force upgrades to the pay monthly creative cloud if you want to ever move off HFS+.

    This is not actually the case. APFS can continue to behave as a case-INsensitive partition (check the options when creating a new APFS volume), and remains so for the system partition, I guess specifically to avoid any hard-to-debug compatibility issues.

  Steam doesn't work on case sensitive hfs or apfs. Ask me how I know. >.<

        you can install mame/gnome arcade on linux and definitely create a dangerous distraction. I've wasted some time on centipede, burger time and even snacks'n jaxson

    which is all the more surprising considering Steam and many of its games work on Linux, which is case-sensitive!

Won't happen, but a number of alternatives have finally been springing up which beat the features of Adobe products. DaVinci Resolve instead of Premier Pro and After Effects to a lesser extent, Unity Web instead of Flash, Darktable instead of Lightroom. And on the Mac OS side, Affinity Designer instead of Illustrator, Pixelmator instead of Photoshop.

  Wow, did not realize that DaVinci Resolve runs on Linux. Blackmagic continues to dominate in broadcast innovation, especially at their price points. Thanks.

I really think if Adobe did that and then released an Adobe-branded desktop Linux distribution they could take over the desktop OS segment for "creative professionals".
