While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux

Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 86 points –

I'm keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I'm just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I'm guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I'm having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.

I'm generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven't really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.

Krita

As I mentioned krita isn't really an editing tool as far as I've heard it's more for art

I only ever really used it for editing

Paint.net used to be my go-to on windows because I'm too cheap to pay for a Photoshop license

Isn't Krita more like an alternative to Adobe Illustrator?

Inkscape is like Illustrator. Krita is a digital painting application, so Photoshop. It doesn't replace Photoshop in every usecase. But in that regard it's better than the tool from Adobe (or so I've been told)
