photoshop is slow enough natively. Running in a VM might be good enough if you use it occasionally, but for people who use it daily I doubt it.

And why would you go that far out of your way if PS it's your primary tool? What would you gain by having a Linux box around your Photoshop install?

Once you strip away specialized tool suits and programs that actually sit on top of the OS, most users just need sound, mouse, keyboard, and monitor support so they can run chrome or firefox. Most OSs handle this just fine, so the real deciding factor in your OS should be the tool chain you need to run.

It's so backwards and kludgy to pick your os then try make your toolchain work on top of it.

Adobe is backwards and kludgy and needs to get with the future, get with Linux, get with the program.
