I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported ( kbin.social )

Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can't have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I've looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I'm not sure what to do....

One solution that has long existed is to have a dual boot system… you can choose which OS you want to load each time you start the system.

Another option is to run a Window VM in Linux.

    So it seems their reasoning is as follows:

    1. billionaires “control” (in some way) the US government
    2. said billionaires have an interest in getting people to join their companies’ platforms
    3. therefore, they will collude to make the US government ban the fediverse

    I doubt that they will readily consider the following information with a level head, but if they are willing to listen, you may want to cite the following:

    • “Big Tech” is actually rather politically unpopular right now.
    • The US government has actually held various hearings grilling leaders of major tech companies. Unfriendly hearings, I would add. (Your friend may just try to dismiss this as “theater”…)
    • The various major tech companies see each others as rivals more than partners. Doubly so with Elon Musk gratuitously adding his own ball of stupid chaos into things. Heck, tech companies are more likely motivated by finding new disruptive technologies to undermine their competition.
    • Meta and Tumblr have both expressed interest in supporting ActivityPub.
    • ActivityPub, Mastodon, Lemmy, and the rest of this whole shebang is all open-source. Even if you make the flagship organizations illegal, the open-source nature of the software will lead other people to create their own hubs, and even to develop these platforms further in the absence of a flagship.
    • The US government is gloriously slow to do anything.
    • Hell, billionaires hate digital piracy! Have they been able to ban it? (This might be your strongest argument…?)
