Why would you think that though? I'm pretty sure software piracy is less common on Linux than on Windows.
- mh- 2y agoOf course it is. Because the software people want to pirate isn't available on Linux for all the reasons parent commenter outlined.

- meowster 2y agoI don't know why the parent comment was flagged dead, but I was typing this reply when it happened: I'm willing to pay, but I rarely use it, so the price I'm willing to pay has to reflect that, and Adobe is not going to come down that low. So I will continue to keep an old Windows laptop around with the sole purpose to run Adobe CS6 the maybe 8 times a year when I need it.
