From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux (lemmy.ml)

I'm keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I'm just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I'm guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I'm having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.

I'm generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven't really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.

It's a browser app though

Extremely laggy as PWA in chromium, less laggy in chrome and has to be used in a normal browser window in firefox

Doesn't work if I'm not connected to the internet and also ads taking up ~10-15% of the window

When it's working in firefox it seems like a decent alternative and even supports opening psds which is incredibly useful but not sure I'd want to run it in a browser, if it was open source could shove it in an electron wrapper and be done with it but doesn't seem to be, their public GitHub only has branding and information
