Summary
- Wine-Staging 11.1 adds installer fixes to help run Adobe installers on Linux.
- Proton rejected the upload, so Wine added the Adobe installer fixes to Wine-Staging for testing.
- Try the Wine 11.1 testing build with the fixes; report bugs – it’s not upstream or stable yet.
If you haven’t been keeping on top of all the Linux news going on lately, things have been pretty exciting on the “getting Photoshop running on it” front. Which doesn’t sound like much of an exciting front, but given how long people have been waiting for Adobe products on Linux, any progress is definitely something to celebrate.
A little while ago, we caught wind that someone had gotten the Adobe installers to work in Wine, but they were struggling to get it added to the repo. They decided to upload it to both Wine’s and Valve’s Proton repo, citing that the latter is usually a lot faster to accept stuff, but it seems to have been rejected. Fortunately, the Wine team has been working on getting the patch added to their app.
