    Yes, because I need Adobe to do my meh wage part-time job in developing country from my one and only working laptop and I don’t have the luxury of surplus money, time, and mental energy to do anything about it.

    But I get your point. If I have the means, I will fix my broken Thinkpad and definitely install Linux there the first chance I get. Either that or Adobe finally release Linux version, which will probably be released after Half-Life 3.

    I can’t wait to try Endeavor (so I can finally be an obnoxious person who say “I used Arch-based distro, btw”)

      Yeah, I’ve seen what Adobe’s support looks like. I remember the Linux version of Flash Player. The guy in charge of it whined on the official Adobe blog on the subject that he had to support “minority browsers” which at the time was everything but Internet Explorer on Windows.

      That’s my point exactly, Linux doesn’t come without sacrifice and few are willing to sacrifice anything for freedom

        Adobe products barely work correctly on Windows, I wouldn’t want to try to run them in an environment that was even less supported

          Honestly that would make me want to run them in wine more. Wine environments can be controlled a lot easier than a Windows install can be.

              What I am saying is that if Illustrator breaks on Windows, you might have to reinstall Windows. If it breaks on Linux, you just reinstall in a new wine prefix, or restore from a backup or snapshot. The rest of the system remains unaffected. Does that make sense?

                Not really. If illustrator breaks on Windows at the most I’ll have to power cycle the PC. I’ve never heard of it taking Windows down with it.

                To even get it functional on wine I’d have to invest untold hours of research and tomfoolery, and then any time it didn’t work I’d not know if it was adobe’s fault or wine’s.

                I wouldn’t mind doing this kind of thing for a hobby, but not for production software unfortunately.
