Photoshop on Linux Gets a Boost Thanks to Wine Patch
Linux users rejoice! Thanks to the efforts of open-source developer PhialsBasement, running Adobe Photoshop 2021 and even the early 2025 versions on Linux is now significantly smoother. The developer has implemented a series of patches to Wine, tackling some longstanding issues that have plagued Adobe Creative Cloud installers on the platform.
The core of the fix lies in addressing HTML and JavaScript rendering problems within Wine. These issues previously prevented the Adobe Creative Cloud installers from functioning correctly. In addition to the HTML and JavaScript fixes, the developer also tackled XML parsing errors, further enhancing compatibility.
The result? Photoshop 2021 and 2025 are reported to run "butter smooth" on Linux after these patches are applied. This is a significant win for Linux-based creatives who rely on Adobe's industry-standard photo editing software.
