That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.
Photopea is surprisingly capable
It is, but I prefer installing and running software locally without ads. :)

Why is Hitfilm on the list? I think they are only available on Mac OS and Windows.
You are right!
I didn’t make that list.
You did the right thing!
what prrograms did you choose to replace them with?
Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!
Da Vinci Resolve all day.
Yes! That’s what I picked!
What replacements did you settle on?
I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can’t now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.
Doesn’t Darktable work for you?
I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.
EDIT:
Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!
Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that’s why I asked.
What distro and what GPU? Asking… for a friend
Ubuntu 23.04, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor.
Out of curiosity, @0jcis@sh.itjust.works, what alternatives did you try before settling on Resolve/WIne?
Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?
Are there better options?
Honestly, that’s too subjective a question for me to answer. There are other options but I won’t say they’re drop-in replacements for what you’re used to. Each alternative comes with its own investment in time and effort, like setting up and learning new apps do. If that set-up works for you, rock and roll!
Hold up, ps and ai work on wine now? Cc?
So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
I didn’t even know about Affinity. Had to google. Their software looks really cool and capable, something I would actually buy if it ran on linux.
Yeah I mostly jumped headfirst into Affinity because it wasn’t subscription based!
The community is making some progress in getting Affinity Creative Suite working through WINE: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/166159-affinity-photo-running-on-linux-with-bottles/
And here, more recently: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/182758-affinity-suite-v204-on-linux-wine/
Oh that’s cool! Might even consider using Asahi. I’d have to justify it… somehow. MacOS is pretty good already!
My justification for this is that Apple will likely drop support for my iMac Pro next year, and so EOL will be reached in ~2026. It’s not an M1 Mac, though. I think macOS is better than Windows, but not as good as GNOME. That’s probably an unpopular opinion 🙂
Sadly, I would still need After Effects regularly and inDesign on rare occasions. We weren’t able or willing to shift our workflow from inDesign to Affinity Publisher. And I have yet to learn Natron well enough to replicate what I need to do in After Effects. I can only hope running Affinity Photo in WINE will be realistic in 2026…and honestly, that prospect isn’t looking bad at all.
Honestly the hate against MacOS developers is kinda unfair. Its a great OS!
The only thing I miss is tiling window managers (i3, bspwm, awesome, xmonad etc), but its not enough to make me leave MacOS…
What version of Lightroom did you install and how?
I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.
Here are the steps:
If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386Download and add the repository key:
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.keySelect your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:
For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sourcesUpdate the package information:
sudo apt updateInstall one of the following packages:
Stable branch:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stableI also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:
winecfgThen I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Photoshop: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12019334
Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938
Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637
I haven’t tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.
