I'm seriously thinking about it. I'm just addicted to creative cloud for stuff. Anyone know how to get it working with after effects and adobe xd?

1. Have two video cards and run Windows on the pass-through via KVM. 2. Dual-boot 3. Keep asking that Adobe make their software compatible with Linux.

  Or PCI-Passthrough which, while not as easy to set up as it should be, works amazingly well.

    can someone explain dual card kvm or pci passthrough? I'm dual booting but if there's a way to ease the pain id love to hear it

      You can give a virtual machine full control of one of your graphics cards. https://wiki.debian.org/VGAPassthrough https://wiki.debian.org/VGAPassthrough

  I just use a laptop. I meet with people in person all the time in my consulting. Change things in front of them literally on the fly.

Here's an alternative hot take on this. You gotta cut the Creative Cloud addiction. Unless you're a full-time designer (especially if working in print or something), alternative tools exist, and it's about figuring out how to move and work in them. No, GIMP isn't in the conversation. People complain about web tech, but I've found that it's honestly really the best bet for new design technology. Figma et all are good enough for most stuff, many have PSD support, and better collaboration stories on top of all that. My two cents, at least. I could be wrong, but this is what I'm trying to do - my logic became "if I'm gonna pay monthly for this shit, why am I paying Adobe?". They're not even truly native on macOS and it's run worse for me with each update.

  I get what you’re saying in terms of Photoshop and Illustrator, but what about After Effects (and by extension Adobe Media Encoder)? I love web tech, but I have never seen an application come close to the power I get in there.

    fusion? im pretty sure they have a Linux version. they do with Resolve anyway. you can also do some fusion stuff inside of resolve now

  Switching year ago away from Lightroom, I can do so much photo editing/retouching in RAW that darktable has pretty much eliminated my need for Photoshop/GIMP.

  I've tried this though. The tools are just essential though :/ Figma in the browser is great for most things but you can't draw well in it. Inkscape takes extra effort. But animating svg for out put or making high rez images to output for 2x/3x? That's the difficult part. I just wish Adobe would listen. You're dead right on the macOS point and here I am running windows nowadays.
