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? |

also, you can create a symbolic link in wine's windows folder so you can just run wine photoshop instead of wine "~/.wine/drive_c/<installation directory>/photoshop.exe"
first go to the directory Photoshop is installed in via the command line. then run: CODE $ ln -s photoshop.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/photoshop By the way, just in case it throws you off, the $ sign just says to run the command as a regular user. You don't include it in the command. A # sign would say to run it as root. |
