If this works with Adobe Creative Cloud, then moving to a Linux distro has suddenly become much more attractive.

The homepage notes that it can't run complex graphical software yet. With that in mind, some recent versions of Adobe software like Photoshop have worked fine in Wine for a while now.

Do my eyes deceive me? O.o What trickery is this?! If I can run iTerm2 on Linux… snap. Um, I would seriously consider switching entirely over to Linux. My killer apps that make it hard for me to switch: - iTerm2 (must-have) - OmniGraffle (really nice, but not critical I guess) - Little Snitch (I understand there are alternatives, but LS is so nice!) - MoneyWell (budgeting—haven't found anything better) If anyone has…

Getting LS to work in a Wine-like environment will be tricky.

I bet it works internally by exposing a separate network device that filters traffic much like Wireshark, and the low-level abstractions for doing something like that are very OS-specific.

Iterm2? There are amazing terminal apps for Linux. Look at Kitty.

I'd love to know (of popular software) what works well, and what doesn't. Is there such a list?

And most importantly (to me), does Adobe Lightroom, Premiere and Photoshop run under this? Frankly, those are about the last pieces of desktop software that prevent me to switch to Linux.

I'm able to do almost everything I need to with Darktable, Kdenlive, and GIMP.
