Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?

I’ve tried working with GPU-passthrough into a Windows VM which doesn’t work all that well with my laptop setup (nvidia-AMD hybrid laptop).

Looking up other methods, seems like most of them rely on outdated versions of adobe software. I’d like to get something relatively new running

    Also… hello! My first post on Lemmy. Which is very cool all things considered. What Reddit should’ve been.

    Are Linux friendly alternatives not an option? E.g. Gimp for Photoshop, Inkscape for Illustrator, etc.

      GIMP’s UI is really hard for new users as it is very unintuitive and the learning curve is steeper. Inkscape on the other hand is awesome.

      Gimp is just… not great. It’s ten years behind the times. These days I tend to use Krita, even though it’s more geared towards digital painting than general image editing.

    I’m 40 y/o, I used Photoshop & Illustrator since I was 8 years old. When I moved to Linux I tried everything, and ended up using Photopea.com and Inkscape.

    You can the same way you can technically run MS Office on Linux. You can manage to get it to start and run but using it for any form of productive use is probably gonna be rough.
