From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

next time ask nicely
Okay well, lightroom Classic is the last thing I'm booting into Windows for. I've tried a few times to get into Darktable but the learning curve is steep and blah blah blah. Could you please expound on your earlier comment? If there's a trick for getting Adobe software to play nicely it could be life changing for me. Are you saying that the software installs fine with Wine/Proton, the issue is the installer/Creative Cloud? Thank you so much!!!
it's a bit of a pain, but this post here offers an in-depth explanation how to set up photoshop CC 2024, and should be adaptable to other adobe software and more recent versions.
alternatively, if you don't mind using a version that's a few years out of date (but well tested and supported), this script streamlines the whole setup process and has been successfully used to accommodate lightroom.
i hope this all helps. good luck!
