![]() Most artists are doing art not programming.Īdobe is an independent company. ![]() If so, Adobe should assume that it does not want its customers to use Linux instead of looking for meaningless excuses. So if it is in favor of other OS, by agreement or contract, without problems, Adobe has every right, but if it is, there is a lot of ethical failure, massive manipulation attempt, in claiming to develop that for Linux users do not compensate the effort. Mac and Linux Development | Custom Software Development See the testimony of this technology company: Technically we know that there is not that much difference between what is programmed for MacOS to work on Linux, obvious that it requires a little more recourse, but at least half way is already done. The only doubt I have and I know that you do not have the answer is if Adobe has purposely neglected Linux to favor Apple, in my view Apple is the one who benefits most from this situation, or even Microsoft Windows. I have nothing to add.īe that as it may and regardless of how many users you have in each OS, only use your data of 1.5%, there are more than 40 million users, most of which are high potential because they are Devs. For this just an article from 2011 on AIR: Adobe: Market? What Linux market? | ITworld. So now, we are missing the numbers for those who commit to change to Linux when CC is available on Linux. But I could imagine that they are near pair. However, as I have no number, I will not advance any. For Adobe products I suspect the MacOS part to be much higher as this is the traditional graphics market for Adobe products. MacOS is more around 12-13%, Linux around 1.5%, with Windows around 70-80%. Do this and you will see the huge market that Adobe is missing! If you want numbers, compare the number of users between MacOS and Linux Desktop (9% and 3% respectively), exclude from the list non-developers (most linux user is a developer), add those that want to change OS but do not changes due to Adobe. I do not see the need to expose what I do professionally, it does not make sense your argument "ad hominem" is very unnecessary! But just the fact that we are discussing is already a contribution that I am making. That's abandoned, because the numbers weren't worth the effort. For sure, Adobe will not ask my or yours personal opinion.Īdobe once had Photoshop running on Irix (Silicon Graphics UNIX) or may be even on Sun OS. If it happens, it will happen based on a very expensive market study, based on real (?) numbers and great projections and based on a potential market that Adobe would see there. This whole discussion is pretty senseless. If I would have, I would be under NDA and I would not be able to talk about that. For reasons that I will not explain here, I have reasons to believe that the decisions of those administrations are more based on Microsoft's excellent lobby work than on facts.Īnd to be clear again: I do not have any information that Adobe is planning anything in the near future on Linux. Again I do not put an appreciation behind, in the contrary. That does not mean that they do not exist, but I know about several administrations who where on Linux and are returning to Windows. And that is: the numbers do not add-up! I do not know of any company investing in Linux desktop systems. I'm not an Adobe PR man, I'm giving my personal appreciation. I did not talk on anything like "a complete and stable product", I was talking about " some products running on Linux internally". A complete and stable product? Since when? Once again dear ACP could you help people instead of just being a Adobe PR man?
