You should check out Procreate. For me, it alone is enough reason to get an iPad.

Procreate is pretty cool. But my own dream is being able to run Procreate and Photoshop (gimp too, since why not) on the same device.

Can't you run UTM (QEMU) on these devices? You should be able to run anything you want

can't on latest ipad os, at least not without a jailbreak first? at least as far as I can tell, from UTM's own documentation. wish it was a developer option at least.

https://getutm.app/faq/#does-this-require-a-jailbreak

You can side load it using a developer account without jailbreaking.

>If you are running iOS 14.0, 14.1, 14.4, or higher: UTM works if you are jailbroken or semi-tethered with Jitterbug, AltJIT, or Jitstreamer. “Semi-tethered” means either tethered to a Mac/PC, to another iOS device with Wifi sharing, or to itself (one iOS device running both Jitterbug/AltJIT and UTM) through a on-device VPN profile.

Seems like with iOS 14+, and as of writing it seems like we're on iOS 17, it needs to be jailbroken? Do Jitterbug, Jitstreamer, AltJIT, work for developer accounts?

Looks like you're right. I'm not sure aboutJitterbug, Jitstreamer, or AltJIT.

Adobe shipped Photoshop for iPad in 2019: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/ipad.html

GIMP for iPad: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/xgimp-image-editor-paint-tool/...

Photoshop for iPad shipped in 2019 and still to this day is half-baked garbage that you can’t do anything productive with. Photopea is more useful on the iPad and it’s a web app.

Sure, there's a lot of great choices for professional photo editing — Affinity Photo, Adobe Lightroom, Darkroom, Pixelmator Photo, etc. I just wanted to make @falcolas's specific dream come true.
