While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux

I’m keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I’m just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I’m guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I’m having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.

I’m generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven’t really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.

Dual boot for a while. Even if you’re using a usb

Dual boot is too inconvenient. Just go Linux cold-turkey and run Windows in a VM if you have to.

Yeah, dual booting meant Windows for me. I was just more comfortable with it. On the other hand some people have something to do compared to me at that time. Taking the time to learn how to do sth. on Linux isn’t always possible.

I thought about dualboot using two SSDs, one for linux, one for Windows and a VM on linux using the physical Windows SSD. Don’t know if it is really possible though…

I remember trying to do that once, it wasn’t possible IIRC but it might be now 10 years later

Dualbooting is a great start for most people who want to switch but USB sticks have cheap storage controllers so they will die insanly fast if you put that kind of load on them permanentely and it will probably be slower than a HDD.

That’s the plan. Windows will be on one ssd and Linux (probably Mint) on another.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
