I've been working on getting Adobe's Creative Cloud apps running on Linux with Wine, and I wanted to share where I've got to (beyond just being able to download and open nearly all the apps).

Photoshop and Illustrator can edit, save, reopen and export small documents in my tests. I've also got some InDesign document/PDF workflows and Premiere-to-Media Encoder exports with audio working. The screenshot below is Photoshop 27.10 after reopening a PSD I'd edited on Linux.

It's still rough. There are crashes and hangs, video preview and audio issues, and some unresponsive menus. I've only been able to test on one AMD laptop (my laptop), so this needs more testing before anyone relies on it for everyday work.

I've put the 29 Wine patches, setup tools, screenshots and investigation notes on GitHub. The project has become much bigger than I expected, and I can't take it all the way on my own. If anyone wants to try it, review a patch or pick up a small fix, I'd love to see it keep going.

I also used some AI coding tools along the way, and the patches could use more independent reviews. This builds on Wine and its contributors' work. You'll need your own Adobe account and license, as I didn't include any Adobe apps or activation bypasses.

Hey, im using Bottles to run FL Studio on my Arch Linux setup and so far ive had no major problems, just graphical bugs and minor issues. The biggest and only real issue i had is when I tried downloading the VST Plugin ElectraX, but when I tried launching the Installer I got the error message in the photo. I've had the same for 2 other Plugin Installers, but not with the rest. I already tried downloading the vcredist6sp6 dependency but that didnt change anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?
