Photoshop (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the CC suite) is a bloated abomination. >5 web view processes, some "IPC broker", CCXProcess that launches a long-lived node instance, some system services. Most of it runs after you close the main application. Nothing of it all is really to any benefit of the user, some of the processes can (and commonly are) substituted with dummy binaries. About ten to fifteen years ago I had hopes the development direction was aiming for true platform independence and we might get a Linux version. Since then it deteriorated into a telemetry-ridden dumpster fire of a graphics-processing OS with the same symptoms as their hosts (duplicated dialogues with different generation UIs for the same action, hello Windows!). Makes sense achieving it work under Wine is a worthy goal, as long as it depends on implementing obscure parts of the API, and not just making hacks for the specific programs to work. It's appalling to think Adobe CC is forcing so many people keep Windows installed, considering how hostile the software itself is. Hope it all implodes and the industry moves to something more sensible (no way).
