It's not a Linux problem, it's a Windows emulation problem in Wine.

As for Linux, I'm using it for 25+ years, and I ditched Windows 10+ years ago. Windows is not necessary to do stuff. However, if you vitally depend on CS5 then running CS5 in emulation is not the best idea. At least you can use it properly in a PC emulator like VMware in Linux.

If you need to run Photoshop, it is a Linux (as a plataform), problem. Also “Wine Is Not an Emulator”.

been using it for 22 years and ditched Windows some 15 years ago at home. Unfortunately, I use my work PC a lot and that's Windows...

now, I do mostly web and dev, so Linux is a sweet spot there...
