The inability to use Adobe Creative Cloud on Linux is often cited as a major barrier for many users considering a switch to the platform. But perhaps, just perhaps, there has already been a breakthrough in that direction.

A community developer says they have resolved long-standing Wine compatibility issues that prevented Adobe Creative Cloud installers from completing on Linux, publishing a patchset and prebuilt binaries that they claim enable installation of Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025.

It could take a while to get into Wine. The test suite is pretty extensive and automated but patches can break things as well as new tests may need to be developed to ensure that testing is accurate.

They have a test suite? I once had to downgrade Wine from 7 to 5 because the one game I wanted stopped working in the later version.

Yep it’s a huge test suite and an automatic run on every patch submitted. If people are writing patches they are also writing tests. The tests are run on various versions of Windows as well as wine running on Linux.

Yeah, there isnt even a merge request upstream yet and it seems like no tests have been added, which I'm sure will be required before merge.

They did release a binary of their fork, and you can always build it yourself as well.
