Most adobe things should work in Wine, no? At least they did a few years ago

They don't anymore unfortunately. The best solution I've seen is using winapps for Linux, but even that relies on a Windows VM. Worth looking into though still imo, it's how I use the latest version of Excel for my work.

Thanks for the tip. I can finally run Internet Explorer seamlessly on my Linux system.
