Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?
I’ve tried working with GPU-passthrough into a Windows VM which doesn’t work all that well with my laptop setup (nvidia-AMD hybrid laptop).
Looking up other methods, seems like most of them rely on outdated versions of adobe software. I’d like to get something relatively new running
I’m 40 y/o, I used Photoshop & Illustrator since I was 8 years old. When I moved to Linux I tried everything, and ended up using Photopea.com and Inkscape.
Are Linux friendly alternatives not an option? E.g. Gimp for Photoshop, Inkscape for Illustrator, etc.
GIMP’s UI is really hard for new users as it is very unintuitive and the learning curve is steeper. Inkscape on the other hand is awesome.
I agree completely with this. At my office, I’ve started installing Krita in place of photoshop for people who need to edit images. It has its own learning curve, but it’s been a wonderful alternative.
For basic stuff it is a great alternative with a better UI than GIMP, although when you start needing more advanced stuff anything else is better than Krita for photo manipulation.
Also… hello! My first post on Lemmy. Which is very cool all things considered. What Reddit should’ve been.
You can the same way you can technically run MS Office on Linux. You can manage to get it to start and run but using it for any form of productive use is probably gonna be rough.
Honestly probably not I still haven’t been able to get Lightroom 5 to install due to adobe’s jank
