Hello everyone,

after looking into both technical viability and current market needs, it’s unfortunately become obvious that we’re not going to be able to act on this request in the near future.

I wanted thank everyone for the considerate and passionate discussion on this thread. This has been a great example of a meaningful conversation over a controversial subject that I don’t take for granted.

Cheers,
Patrick

Hello everyone,

first of all: thanks to all the people who joined in the last two days to vote and comment on this particular item. Please stick around and tell us what else you’d like to see implemented or improved moving forward.

If you were wondering why this post was offline for a couple of hours: it’s because of this quick surge in votes. It triggered a spam filter (and it took me a little while to figure out how to undo this without losing the comments).

Since several people posted in the meantime about Adobe not being interested in your feedback, let me assure you that this is about as far from the reality as it gets. We truly appreciate your candid feedback.

That said, a word of caution: while this item is now at the top due to a person with a good following on Twitter creating awareness, it doesn’t mean it immediately becomes our top priority. It’s been voted for since April, and never made it to the top 100 before this dramatic surge on Dec 11th.

And yet another word of caution in an attempt to set expectations correctly: while we’re gonna use this request as another trigger to redo market analysis for the need to port to linux, it’s been true for many years that the vast majority of our user base wouldn’t consider it as an alternative to currently supported platforms. Unless that has changed significantly, keeping the balance between dealing with other request versus adding another platform might not make it viable to add support for linux.

As I’ve worked for a company doing Win, MacOS and Linux prior to joining Adobe, I’ll add a bit of color to this request: doing Linux isn’t really about adding one OS, it’s at least several, if not many. Putting software that’s demanding on CPU, GPU and then some onto a linux system means developing and testing against several of the major flavours if you expect great results.
It’s also true that our large partner eco-system is mostly not on Linux today, so you’d be losing a ton of functionality outside the core application for years to come.

In a nutshell: this isn’t a simple thing to do – but we’re gonna take another hard look as to what’s the demand as I already mentioned above.

Stay tuned – and thanks again for coming to this forum to voice your ideas.

Patrick

Develop Adobe Premier Pro for Linux based OS. There is not much role of OS in Adobe Premier Pro. Its all efforts by Adobe. Also, many people are using Linux based OS like Ubuntu etc. Suppose if I want to use Adobe Premier Pro in my PC.

honestly, I don't think this market research session was conducted successfully. I just saw something written that linked this article, I strongly believe that with proper exposure to the question of a linux suite, you can easily blow the 11,404 (11,405 with mine, haha) vote out of the water. I feel like the majority of the community has no idea this conversation happened.

I truly appreciate your guys willingness to look at this request!.

Thanks!

Put Photoshop on Linux! Ideally on Ubuntu, I have to run your Wine software and it's bad..and GIMP is a failure. You made an android or mac'os version and you will do it for Linux ...

Adobe not supporting Linux in the near future.. that will definitely make me ditch the complete Adobe Suite. Using software like Affinity Designer & Resolve already. To bad Adobe! Please reconsider!

Windows is just an aweful OS. You are the only company that makes me unable to use Linux. Every other piece of software that I use (Blender, Unreal Engine etc.) is cross platform.

@Dawid If all you're using is Premiere, switch to Resolve. It's better and it's on Mac/Win/Lin. My next machine is going to run Linux and virtualize other OSes. I'm tired of being beholden to either hardware or software.

A local business i own are heavily using Adobe products for marketing and graphics design. If they will be released on Linux system, we will be able to reorganize our computer infrastructure and better adapt it for our needs.
Linux can be not only free, which cuts costs, but also more flexible as it provides more freedom for users.
I believe, as i am looking from my perspective, that publishing your software on this system will happen someday and help many people like me save their money and time.
Also please don't make your decision only basic on community, i know it can be toxic sometimes and childlish. And i know that this OS has small market share, but i think this is caused among that software like Adobe is not avaliable.

Hello guys! Cheers from Brazil.
I used Linux for years. For the last four years i've been using Windows for gamming and Adobe suite. Now with Steam PROTON Linux is finnaly a viable option for gamming. Sometime ago I tried Pop_OS for gamming and for my surprise it was capable of running Dark Souls 3 and GTA5 very smothly. I also tried Blender and Substance Painter, both run very well. And guess what... Substance Painter is Adobe Software! Anyway, I hope that Adobe sees the Linux potencial sometime in future.
