This has actually been one of the biggest deal breakers for many people
for as long as I can remember in the world of Linux. Many have even
chose to dual boot /just/ so they can have Photoshop.
You could also create a VM using a virtualizer like VirtualBox, etc., then you'd have the best of both worlds.
I wonder why, after all these years they haven't just made and support a Linux version of it.
Simple. Market share. Compared to Windows and OS X, Linus is a tiny percentage, about 4.5% worldwide.
Unless they have some exclusivity with Microsoft or
something or there's differences in how they make people pay for it.
Just because Linux distros are free, for the most part, that doesn't mean Linux programs have to be, in fact, there are a number of commercial programs you gotta pay for, but they are in the minority.
