That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.
Photopea is surprisingly capable
You did the right thing!
Hold up, ps and ai work on wine now? Cc?
What replacements did you settle on?
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.
Doesn’t Darktable work for you?
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.
Da Vinci Resolve all day.
Yes! That’s what I picked!
So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
The community is making some progress in getting Affinity Creative Suite working through WINE: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/166159-affinity-photo-running-on-linux-with-bottles/
And here, more recently: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/182758-affinity-suite-v204-on-linux-wine/
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…
