I'm thinking about making the switch to EndeavourOS for my college laptop since I've heard that Linux can offer a much smoother workflow compared to Windows, which I really dislike. As a photography student, having access to Adobe Creative Cloud is essential for my work. I'm confused because I've read mixed reviews on whether Adobe programs like Photoshop are compatible with Linux. Some say that recent versions work fine, while others insist there's no support. Essentially, I'm trying to figure out if I can effectively do my coursework on Linux. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

What’s with the recent buzz around EndeavourOS? I’ve not seen much talk about it in ages, and suddenly there are tons of posts! I thought it was overshadowed by how good Archinstall has become.
Check out WineHQ’s app database for Adobe products; it shows that Photoshop might work on Linux, but most other Adobe software isn’t quite usable. If you need reliable access to those apps, you might want to consider dual booting with Windows or using a virtual machine to run them.
Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate it 🙂
I've heard about Darktable as a Lightroom alternative. Do you know if it's a good option for photo editing, and are there any other Photoshop alternatives I could try if Adobe doesn’t work well?
I’m not sure either! I’ve been trying it out in a VM for almost a year now since a friend suggested it, and it's been pretty cool!
