If Adobe apps worked on Linux, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

If your choice of OS is the one that can run Adobe products better, they work better on macOS anyways

I generally agree, but it's hard to fault people for either not buying apple hardware or preferring the IBM PC-type OS.

Honestly I feel like this is the last big wall for a lot of creative pros. Affinity Photo is closing in on Photoshop-level capability, and things like Bottles + Wine can actually run older versions of Creative Cloud surprisingly well now.

The real issue isn’t capability but just adoption (IMO): most studios and agencies are chained to Adobe’s ecosystem. If even one major studio publicly switched pipelines to Linux, the floodgates would probably open to actually allow this.
