Personally, the only reason I don't fully switch to Linux is because of the Adobe Suite, but other than that, I would absolutely make the switch. I'm hoping that if this promopts enough people to make the switch, then Adobe will finally make versions of their Programs for Linux.

They would never. In their mind if you are using Linux is because you can't afford windows. And if you can't afford windows then you can't afford adobe

But they used to offer support for Photoshop and Illustrator a while back if I'm not mistaken. That's what's annoying me.

Older versions are supported via wine/crossover, but not official support

The only mainstream professional graphics program with official Linux support was Corel draw, but for a single version twenty years ago, because they acquired a Linux distribution and they wanted to do a bundle os+office+desktop graphics. But nobody bought it (it's difficult to even find a pirated copy of that) so they scrapped the idea immediately
