Adobe Photoshop 2025 Installer Now Working On Linux With Patched Wine
An open-source developer has worked through the last of the issues preventing the Adobe Creative Cloud installers for Windows from running on Linux via Wine. With pending patches, Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 are expected to install and run on Linux.
Open-source developer "PhialsBasement" worked through Adobe Creative Cloud installer issues due to some Wine incompatibilities around MSXML3 and MSHTML. He commented that Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 at least are installing now on Linux with the patched Wine.
When it comes to running the actual application, Adobe Photoshop 2021 in particular appears to run rather robustly according to his comments:
The pull request with the patches though was opened up for Valve's downstream Wine repository rather than the upstream WineHQ.org GitLab repository. So the Valve Wine pull request closed with the developer instead having to pursue upstream Wine first. Hopefully these patches are in good shape for upstreaming in Wine proper soon for improving the Adobe Creative Cloud / Photoshop experience on Linux. In the meantime there is this GitHub repository if wanting to use the yet-to-be-merged code.

"Photoshop 2021 itself runs butter smooth, only issue i have had is drag-n-drop but that could just be my wayland stuff."
