Looks interesting, hadn't heard from it. Thanks.
wow that looks awesome
Oh this looks awesome thank you for sharing!!
Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I'm thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I've tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it's not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.
The only downsides are :
- passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
- absolute mouse position doesn't work over RDP so don't try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won't work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven't tested that yet.
It does use RDP!
But i have an Intel Iris
til this exists, awesome!
So this is not running Windows apps on linux, but displaying them on your linux desktop. You still need to run Windows in a VM.
I did say kvm

No idea if it works, but I installed something similar a few years back, and it worked (might have been CS6 at that). Searching Photoshop linux github has a few hits. There's also a project for GIMP to skin the interface to look like Ps, I just sucked it up and learned GIMP...
Thanks. I will probably end up keep using gimp and krita.
I also struggled to get photoshop up and running on my linux machine, I was even going for cs6 too funnily enough. Purely out of exasperation I ended up trying photogimp, and I haven’t looked back since.
I think the look they’re going for is like, current gen photoshop essentials? I don’t really care, it’s close enough to cs6 that it doesn’t feel like I’ve had to relearn anything.
github version works for me
Krita is a really great alternative in my opinion if you would be interested in it.
That wasn't OP's question though.
Dude, those are nice programs but if you need professional work done those are of very limited use. The only thing that is almost as useful as Adobe is Affinity and that's also not running on Linux.
Try disabling hardware acceleration
Try enabling DXVK
Try gallium?
