I’m waiting for baited breath for ONE work-related app to have a Linux version before jumping ship on my main computer.
Linux is on every other platform at my home, I just want to be 100% free :(

Can’t you run that one app under WINE or something? Or even a Windows VM if you really need to…
It’s the Adobe Creative Suite, I have to use it for my job. Many warriors have valiantly fought to try to get Photoshop to teeter onto WINE, but I have yet to see anyone get the entire suite into a stable state. There is that AENux thing that someone is trying to do for After Effects, but it’s still in super early stages… done by one developer for probably Adobe’s most resource demanding app.
All the other apps I rely on can either run on WINE or have their Native Versions. I’m tied to either Windows or Mac for my main desktop until then.
At some point, one might consider a remote desktop setup. It’s easier to get a strong GPU that way, anyway.
Also… you can dual boot.
Have you considered using a VM?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.
In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.
But sequence based editors… Yeah, it’s tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.
I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don’t want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.
I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.
But Krita is pretty good.
I’m not arguing that there’s isn’t better alternatives that CAN run on Linux for most of Adobe’s apps, but its what the industry has settled for their standard. (Inkscape has gotten really good, and I love Krita)
But on top of that, since I work a ton in After Effects, there hasn’t really been a real alternative to it. You can have Blender do some of the things in it, and Davinci in some other things, but its a bloated beast of mixed use-cases all in one fancy app that nobody has really attempted to replicate.
Yeah, that’s what I said. For sequence editors you’re in trouble. Specially if you have to share files with others.
That’s why fuck adobe. Fuck them 100 million times. I hope all their ceos and shareholders and whatnot die a slow, painful death.
Same to microsoft, 3dsmax and others, but adobe is a personal pain.

Can’t really do that for apps that need a discreet GPU
You should be able to with a second GPU and pass through, no?
Don’t think there’s an easy way to do this
What apps do you have in mind? I’ve never come across anything where the video card was the issue (assuming it is already working on the host system).
Like the Adobe suite? I don’t use those but I can’t imagine Premiere running too great with max 256MB of VRAM
What about that 16 bits commandos like western styled game?
A bit joke, a bit serious actually, it doesn’t even work on a modern windows :-/
Try DOSBox for that kind of thing
Dosbox on Linux? I’ll give it a go, thank you!
