wasnt the question about replacing Photoshop?

Hate to break it to you, but not one person who uses photoshop uses Linux.

Not true: I use photoshop (albeit, not professionally) and have a subscription for it, but am writing this from linux. Dualboot exists, you know.

FYI Photoshop doesn't work on Linux.. so not so much absurd, as factual

And iirc, Google sponsored the patchset that allowed CS6 to run on it. So someone out there wants Photoshop to work on Linux, and is even willing to pay for it.

You're technically right

But I would still say Linux support isn't what's holding back any photoshop replacement
