Getting closer to 100% Linux
Nov 25th, 2008 by admin
I got Photoshop working with Wine several weeks ago. I’ve been using PS professionally for something like fifteen years, and to not be able to use it for texture painting is a deal-breaker between myself and Linux. Also, I just attempted (for the third time) to get my generic pen tablet to work with Ubuntu (8.10), and finally succeed tonight. It worked with pressure sensitivity in PS/Wine without further configuration, so that’s great. Now, if I can just get my full version of ArtRage 2 to install and work correctly under Wine, I’ll most likely never boot my workstation nor my laptop into Windows again.
What? Photoshop works under Wine? That’s some great news, there!
Oh, cs2’s been working for ages, and cs3 has been working for a couple months. See

What problems are you having with ArtRage?
How’s the transition going so far? I have been making the same switch myself, at first I was using Fedora but switched to Ubuntu. There is a liberating feeling when you have less and less of a use for Windows.
