Photoshop is currently written in OS X’s Carbon library, and is being ported to Cocoa for the 64-bit version. Cocoa and Carbon are OS X specific apis, not currently available in any other OS.
If Adobe were to port Photoshop to Linux, they’d either have to rewrite much of it, or tweak the Windows version to […]
“these kids just don’t get that when you want a stable rock solid server, you just wont go for linux.”
Linux has worked just fine for me, and I’ve been working with Linux in environments with requirements for rock-solid stability for a long time. Until this year, I worked in a supercomputing center (with thousands of […]
Porting to Linux would be a waste. Graphics studios will still use Macs.
I don’t care what you say. Mac fanboy, PC fanboy or neutral. The fact is that the customization that Linux and Windows offers is the last thing a studio cares about. Graphics design is a industry where turn around time is everything, where […]
Mebbe, I “could” save the 3 grand it costs for web standard here but by then I would need to….
A) Fix the car = $400 - 800
B) Get a new Heater as ours is failing
C) Pay for some more classes on how to use Adobe Web Standard….($ 5k)
D) Buy a world ticket from travel agency […]
The reason for Windows and Apple being so popular is that they both have existed longer than Linux. By the time Linux started to be more known Windows was about to realise Windows 95 and becoming a monopoly. It’s obviously than being younger and with little or no resources is not going to help Linux. […]
This article is exactly right. Adobe needs to make Linux versions of the Creative Suite apps. Adobe apps are the sole reason I can’t make the switch full time to Ubuntu. Many years ago Adobe had Unix versions of Photoshop and FrameMaker, but they stopped developing these.
I would also love a custom Adobe distro of […]
“Then the company should embrace Linux in-house and develop a complete, optimized Linux OS designed to run a high-performance version of its Creative Suite on Linux optimized for Adobe products, to be sold as a bootable bundle for multicore-workstation hardware.”
what the fuck is this guy smoking…
Why doesn’t adobe also work for nasa and build the […]
This article is so unbelievably poorly thought out. It’s like saying “what Coca-Cola needs to do is stop McDonald’s.” Microsoft is bar-none the largest delivery platform for Adobe products. So much so that Adobe attempted the ill-fated “Windows Preferred” campaign a number of years ago to try to thwart OSX adopters, and […]
Thank you for the insult you uninformed dipshit. Linux is not free because people are poor, but because it’s a project we’re all making and sharing and therefore not asking money for it. Wanna bet I have more money than you? Wanna bet I have spend more than you this month purely on luxury? But […]
1) Why would hardware and software companies support a niche market when they are working overtime to supply products to the 95% market of Windows users?
2) Why would the average person want an OS that was 95% as usable as the OS they already use and already supports their hardware and software?
Linux has to be […]
