Have any of you tried photoshop on Linux lately?
Curious about the stability of using Photoshop with Wine or a VM. Photoshop and Marvelous Designer are the only apps I use that aren’t on linux. I wonder if using Wine for Photoshop would be simplified if people try a version like m0nkrus that doesn’t require the creative cloud.
