Kent right here talks about how Linux related companies need to focus on putting their resources towards collaborating and helping big companies port their software and THEN introduce open source software to new users instead of remaking desktop environments, pushing companies away, and overall doing the same thing over and over.

I kind of agree with him just not completely, but my question is:

Do any of you agree?

    Oh, just invest in adobe and get it developed for Linux - easy, why didnt anyone think of this before. And better yet, if they do invest they could make it a PopOS exclusive!!?!?!! \s

    It wont work because Adobe does not care and there is not enough market share in Linux for them to bother with it. No amount of money that PopOS has will be able to convince Adobe to develop it for Linux and there is no way in hell Adobe will give them access to their source to develop it for Linux. That whole argument is just a non-starter.

      Adobe is literally using NodeJS for everything. Their apps would have “a linux version” using Electron in a few months

          They ALSO use some form of intense DRM malware stuff and their “adobe creative cloud”. Their software is not even installable through the Microsoft store, containerized, but they prefer their intense tracking solution.

          So theoretically yes, if it wasnt proprietary license horror

              So its basically webapps installed through a DRM management thing called “creative cloud”.

              Just those damn starbucks tiktok people dont care about that.

              If you enable storage protection in windows defender, adobe software is blocked from doing some things it does and you need to allow it manually to make it work.
