Ok, that’s it. Asahi project, I hope you get to the M4 chip soon, and I gotta figure out how to got Photoshop, illustrator and InDesign running on Linux. :/
It’s been real, macOS, but if you card me, I can only say “fuck you”
Edit: and for all of those kind souls who wish to offer me Adobe alternatives: as a professional who has to use these Adobe apps everyday: they are really is no alternative. But thank you very much for your effort.
However, anyway, if you can help me to get any Adobe cc apps running in Linux, I will be eternally grateful— grateful enough to reveal how I’ve been getting them for free for 35 years. (it’s stupidly, easy, so easy that I don’t want to publish it and expose my loophole)
But it is both super easy and super legal— I found an easy and reliable way to game the free trial system. and I have been using it for decades.
Sadly no. macOS (or, more specifically, NeXTSTEP) was originally based on BSD, but it has its own proprietary microkernel (Mach, now called Darwin), making it different enough that it is no longer considered a BSD distro (more like a sibling nowadays), despite being fully POSIX-compliant and UNIX certified.
In 1996, Apple Computer acquired NeXT and used NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP as the foundation for Mac OS X (later macOS). Its technologies continue to form the basis of Darwin, the core operating system underlying macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

I haven’t tried this yet myself, but it’s a project I’ve been keeping a fairly anticipatory eye on: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-adobe-installers/
Oooo! Now that’s some hot shit
Isn’t there some BSD stuff in Macs? Is it enough to get the exemption?

It might be interesting to see if Apple attempts to slide in under that exemption anyway, but I doubt they would even try.
