Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes

A developer has created patches for Wine that allow Photoshop 2021 and 2025, previously incompatible with Linux, to run on the platform. By addressing compatibility issues related to Windows subsystems, the patches enable Adobe Creative Cloud installers to function on Linux through HTML, JavaScript, and XML fixes. The developer's modifications ensure that Wine can emulate Internet Explorer 9's behavior, facilitating the successful installation and operation of the Adobe applications on Linux systems. While the patches were initially rejected by Valve's Wine repository, they represent a significant step towards broader Adobe CC compatibility on Linux, potentially opening the door for other Adobe apps to run natively on the platform.
