Well, we have tried asking nicely, through petitions and Adobe's own forums, but Adobe doesn't care.
As every sane Business knows, Customer service should always be #1 priority.
Why ?
Because Customers can make doing Business feel like hell, and without Customers any Business is non-existent.
So, to get Adobe to support Linux, we can and need to take advantage of Adobe's subscription service.
Get Ready for Activism, Occupy Style !
How ?
There are two ways:
First Method:
- Get subscription to Creative Cloud. Now you are a customer of Adobe.
- Go create a support ticket for something like "Bug: (program name) not working on Linux". Note: Program name should be among the ones you subscribed for. You could create multiple tickets, one for each program not working on Linux.
- When they say "We don't support Linux", you reply "then keep this ticket open until you do support Linux".
- If they close the ticket, create another one.
- If they block or ban your Creative Cloud account, register for another account with another email.
Second method:
- Get subscription to Creative Cloud for one month.
- cancel the subscription before the 2nd month, because "Linux not yet supported".
- then again subscribe in the 3rd month
- cancel the subscription before the 4th month, because "Linux not yet supported".
- Keep doing this until you can run the program on Linux. When asked why are you subscribing again, say "to see for myself whether the program is working on Linux"
- If they block or ban your Creative Cloud account, register for another account with another email.
These methods require money, but they should also increase Adobe's cost of providing customer service.
Extra Email help:
GMX offers 10 emails under one account.
Google has multiple variations with dots(.) of the same email in a single account -- Example: open.source@gmail.com = opensource@gmail.com = o.pensour.ce@gmail.com
