That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.
Photopea is surprisingly capable
You did the right thing!
Da Vinci Resolve all day.
Yes! That’s what I picked!
what prrograms did you choose to replace them with?
Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!
What distro and what GPU? Asking… for a friend
Ubuntu 23.04, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor.
Out of curiosity, @0jcis@sh.itjust.works, what alternatives did you try before settling on Resolve/WIne?
Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?
Are there better options?
Honestly, that’s too subjective a question for me to answer. There are other options but I won’t say they’re drop-in replacements for what you’re used to. Each alternative comes with its own investment in time and effort, like setting up and learning new apps do. If that set-up works for you, rock and roll!
What replacements did you settle on?
I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can’t now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.
Doesn’t Darktable work for you?
I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.
EDIT:
Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!
Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that’s why I asked.
What version of Lightroom did you install and how?
I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.
Here are the steps:
If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386Download and add the repository key:
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.keySelect your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:
For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sourcesInstall one of the following packages:
Stable branch:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stableI also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:
winecfgThen I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938
Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637
I haven’t tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.
So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
I didn’t even know about Affinity. Had to google. Their software looks really cool and capable, something I would actually buy if it ran on linux.
Yeah I mostly jumped headfirst into Affinity because it wasn’t subscription based!
