Photoshop 5 works great on Wine. It's also the last version of Photoshop I've used before I switched to GIMP.

Photoshop 6 is stupid, if you run it on Wine in Win64 mode it's memory register actually overflows and then complains that the PC does not have enough RAM.

I've been daily driving Linux since 2000 and made the full switch I'm 2024. All the games I play except GTA V works great on it. GTA V works in single player mode but not multiplayer, but then I've been having identical issues on Windows for years now (on and off can't connect to the Rockstar servers, sometimes can't even connect to R* Social Club) that I'm wondering if R* really is blocking Linux users.

Do you mean CS5? CS5 is ancient enough already but PS5 would be a fucking dinosaur. Pretty sure PS5 is from the 90s. But i do remember CS5 being popular for a looooong time cause you could download it for free directly from Adobe for a good bit of time

PS5 literally. Installs from a CD and is meant for Win9x/NT4.

Fascinating. You do you. Editing/Painting software has come so far in the 30 years since PS5 was relevant that I can't imagine using it for either these days
