Spent all night installing Photoshop, lightroom, illustrator, blender and finding a replacement for after effects and premiere pro. See you never windows!

- 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!
what prrograms did you choose to replace them with?
- Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!
Da Vinci Resolve all day.
- Yes! That's what I picked!
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?
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 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 i386
  
  Download 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.key
  
  Select 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.sources
  
  Install one of the following packages:
  
  Stable branch:
  
  sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
  
  I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:
  
  winecfg
  
  Then 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!
