      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.

          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.

      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!

      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 i386

      Download 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.key

      Select 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.sources

      Install one of the following packages:

      Stable branch:

      sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

      I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:

      winecfg

      Then 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.

      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.
