Can Adobe be used on a machine that's sandboxed / offline? That way you can do your projects while disconnected from their servers, once the project is complete, just move your files onto an external drive and away from Adobe access?
Yes, with a virtual machine. But the experience will not be the best because the VM will lack a GPU.
I'm sure there is ways to share some resources of the GPU with the VM to have a smoother experience but I have never done that on Windows
VMware workstation supports using a GPU. You can even use it in "pass-through" mode to give the VM full, exclusive access to the GPU.
Hm.. I wouldn't think you'd need a VM, rather just disable your ethernet card, disable/disconnect wifi, or unplug ethernet cable.
