Photoshop is not officially supported on Linux and native versions of the app have never been released on the open-source platform. People have managed to get older releases up and running but new editions, those that require Adobe's Creative Cloud, have been locked to macOS or Windows... till now. An ingenious developer has figured out how to make those installers work through a few simple tweaks.
Whenever you try to install Photoshop 2021 or 2025 on Linux, the installer fails because it relies on a lot of Windows dependencies that Wine simply can't emulate. To be clear, Wine is a translation layer, not emulation, so it can't provide everything. This is where developer "PhialsBasement" comes in, who posted their discovery on the r/linux_gaming subreddit.
