How much work would it take to get Adobe apps working on Linux?
I ask because aside from games, which Mr Newell is clearly all over, Adobe is one of the main reasons I hear quoted for why people can't switch to Linux.
Speaking as a visual arts professional, GIMP won't do as a replacement for Photoshop for me. In addition, there's no replacement for After Effects, and no equally good alternative (IMO) to Premiere as a current-generation video editor.
I take it the difficulty of making these apps work in Linux is basically impossible?
I've just looked through WineHQ, and my understanding is that even on CS5, After Effects doesn't work at all, Photoshop is fairly buggy, and Premiere doesn't work at all.
