At this point, I'd say it's not just correct but a moral obligation. Adobe has caused incalculable damage to the softwarescape by buying up smaller but popular companies, shoving their products full of AI crap, and putting them behind a subscription.

Allegorithmic used to have Linux releases for several of their Substance products. They no longer exist. Guess what fucking happened.

The <= 2020 versions of Adobe products basically all still work on Linux as well :)

Some of the menus are buggy, but it works for 99/100 of my personal use cases (or I switch to a rinky-dink windows partition or VM)

Technically Substance products work too on Wine, but with a massive hit to performance because they use the GPU through some esoteric API that isn't covered by DXVK or VKD3D.
