I’m keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I’m just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I’m guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I’m having trouble finding any information on both the current state of things with running Premiere under linux (most info seems to be from 2018 for some reason), and the extent of the drawbacks in a quantifiable way.

I’m generally a pretty happy Mac OS user, but I always want to keep options open. I haven’t really tried to use Linux on desktop since the late 00s.

    I am heavily considering switching to Linux aswell (though from Windows). I guess I would just spin up a VM if I need to run something I can’t get to work on bare matal Linux.

        Dual boot is too inconvenient. Just go Linux cold-turkey and run Windows in a VM if you have to.

          Yeah, dual booting meant Windows for me. I was just more comfortable with it. On the other hand some people have something to do compared to me at that time. Taking the time to learn how to do sth. on Linux isn’t always possible.
