WSL2 can now mount Linux ext4 disks directly

Photoshop! After over a decade of using it, most of the things I do there became muscle memory and I have absolutely no reason / incentive to learn different software (other than being able to use Linux). Ruining it in Wine proved to be a horrible experience - after a couple days of bruteforcing a setup that started, the graphics performance sucked so bad that it was nearly unusable.

I ran Windows -> Hackintosh for 2yrs (until it exploded after an update) -> Linux for 2yrs (until it exploded because of NVIDIA drivers ruining my stability) -> back to Windows after they released WSL2.

I don't think this is a solution since you're likely a power user, but https://www.photopea.com/ is surprisingly good. It also retains photoshop's keyboard shortcuts, so my muscle memory is satisfied. It's noticeably slow when doing complex stuff - but for my casual purposes it's great.

It's great stuff, that's how I survived most of the time I ran Linux. Whenever I had to do anything more complicated, I grabbed my old MBP and shared the files between the PCs. Nothing beats alt-tabbing into a Photoshop instance running at 5+ FPS, though :)
