Ok, so, I just got done installing Ubuntu on my computer for the first time. I have to say, it's pretty trippy (in the good way, that is). But, I just realized that I can't open application files like .EXE and shit, which means I can't download Photoshop (which I really want bad). I just checked out GIMP and quite frankly, I'd just really prefer Photoshop over GIMP. So, I tried using some program called Wine but I have absolutely no clue as to how the f*ck it works or how to install Photoshop with it. I went online to look through tutorials and they talk about commands and stuff and I have no idea where the hell to put commands in.

All I want is to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Linux somehow. Help, please?

Okay, so, I removed Wine, reinstalled it, and tried to open the .EXE file with it, but it didn't even pop up or whatever. So then, I tried just going to the desktop path in the terminal:
CODE
/home/michael/Desktop/Adobe-CS4/Photoshop/Adobe-CS4/Setup.exe

(By the way, "Adobe-CS4" was "Adobe CS4" but I kept getting an error that no such directory exists)
So, that started to work again but it, as usual, gave me an unexpected error. I'm pretty sure it's possible to have CS4 on Wine (I've seen videos and screenshots), so I think I might be missing files or something. Therein lays the problem, however; I don't know what files could be missing, that is, if they are. I have all the files in the "Adobe-CS4/Photoshop/Adobe-CS4" folder that were extracted and I haven't meddled with them. So, looks like I'm stuck.

Also, Joseph, CJ, or anybody else who uses Linux, do you have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on your system?
