      I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can’t now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.

          I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.

          EDIT:

          Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!

            Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that’s why I asked.

      Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?

        Are there better options?

        Honestly, that’s too subjective a question for me to answer. There are other options but I won’t say they’re drop-in replacements for what you’re used to. Each alternative comes with its own investment in time and effort, like setting up and learning new apps do. If that set-up works for you, rock and roll!

      I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.

      Here are the steps:

      If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):

      sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

      Download and add the repository key:

      sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

      Select your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:

      For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):

      sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sources

      Install one of the following packages:

      Stable branch:

      sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

      I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:

      winecfg

      Then I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.

      Photoshop: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12019334

      Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938

      Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637

      I haven’t tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.

        Oh that’s cool! Might even consider using Asahi. I’d have to justify it… somehow. MacOS is pretty good already!

          My justification for this is that Apple will likely drop support for my iMac Pro next year, and so EOL will be reached in ~2026. It’s not an M1 Mac, though. I think macOS is better than Windows, but not as good as GNOME. That’s probably an unpopular opinion 🙂

          Sadly, I would still need After Effects regularly and inDesign on rare occasions. We weren’t able or willing to shift our workflow from inDesign to Affinity Publisher. And I have yet to learn Natron well enough to replicate what I need to do in After Effects. I can only hope running Affinity Photo in WINE will be realistic in 2026…and honestly, that prospect isn’t looking bad at all.

            Honestly the hate against MacOS developers is kinda unfair. Its a great OS!

            The only thing I miss is tiling window managers (i3, bspwm, awesome, xmonad etc), but its not enough to make me leave MacOS…

              Tiling window managers exist on macOS. I think most people use Yabai: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

              I should probably get around to using that, but I don’t use macOS enough.

              But in terms of things that bugged me about macOS:

              1. Why do I need to install a third-party driver to record my desktop audio?
              2. Finder. I could do bullet points just on Finder.
              3. Awful window management and whatnot. Virtual desktops are better than Windows but buggy/clunky. Hopefully Yabai fixes this.
              4. Applications hanging around in the background after quitting the last window.
              5. Terrible support for games! Why don’t they just support Vulkan like everyone else?

              But it has many of the programs for UNIX-like systems, which makes it more homey. I’ve generally found it much more comfortable than Windows, once set up to my specifications. It also doesn’t annoy the hell out of me with stupid things in the start menu, constantly trying to convince me to use Microsoft products, and just generally being a nuisance. If I didn’t love GNOME so much more, then I would be using macOS all the time.

      I didn’t even know about Affinity. Had to google. Their software looks really cool and capable, something I would actually buy if it ran on linux.
