Can you really call it a "installer" when it requires cloud and a subscription to work?

From the post:

>An open-source developer has worked through the last of the issues preventing the Adobe Creative Cloud installers for Windows from running on Linux via Wine. With pending patches, Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 are expected to install and run on Linux. Open-source developer "PhialsBasement" worked through Adobe Creative Cloud installer issues due to some Wine incompatibilities around MSXML3 and MSHTML. He commented that Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025 at least are installing now on Linux with the patched Wine.

In my opinion, if you learn Gimp it is basically just PS but a little more annoying to use from the UX/UI. I have been using Gimp for basic stuff for well over a decade at this point.

There was a time that some of it's plugins were actually better than built-in PS features. I bet that is still true but I don't do a lot of editing/design these days.
