I really wish I could switch back to Linux but not being able to use Adobe tools is what's stopping me. I am now considering dual boot of Linux + Windows for only when Adobe is needed (which is not an ideal Solution).

Just want to see how bad they screw up with the next MacBook before I make the switch. Currently running a 2015 MBP.

Do the adobe tools really not run in wine?

I haven't had a good reason to use it lately but modern wine (not the one in the debian repos) is pretty good once you have the 32 bit GNU userspace installed for it.

Is it? Honestly, I've played around with wine a long time back and realized I can't use it for serious stuff and still sorta carried that thinking. Might have to give it a try again.

The last time I used it to run labview. I don't remember having any problems with it.

Do note that wine is about implementing the win32/win64 runtime. WPF and other .net stuff don't really work well.
