There's really not many reasons left to not use Linux. With windows 11 it's only going to get better as more refugees switch

If Adobe apps worked on Linux, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

If your choice of OS is the one that can run Adobe products better, they work better on macOS anyways

I generally agree, but it's hard to fault people for either not buying apple hardware or preferring the IBM PC-type OS.

Honestly I feel like this is the last big wall for a lot of creative pros. Affinity Photo is closing in on Photoshop-level capability, and things like Bottles + Wine can actually run older versions of Creative Cloud surprisingly well now.

The real issue isn’t capability but just adoption (IMO): most studios and agencies are chained to Adobe’s ecosystem. If even one major studio publicly switched pipelines to Linux, the floodgates would probably open to actually allow this.
