I think Photoshop CS5 is still a better product than Gimp will ever be. I think this person needs to upgrade to Affinity. While it’s still available to buy, that is.
Apparently there’s a tutorial to make a thing in docker that actually does run it. It’s a whole-ass process though and my friend who uses Linux for most stuff was working on it a while back. Damn shame it’s not a thing, out of the box.
I hear it works well as long as you have all the dependencies and stuff needed ahead of time. If an error pops, it’s apparently pretty clear about what’s needed.
I have been deep down this road, and finally got it working, but there are so many graphical glitches it just became unusable.
My current setup is a windows VM I have running in a docker container that I remote desktop into.
Saying that now, I might be better off just using VirtualBox or the like because the input lag is a pain. Not a massive issue but it’s not the same as using it natively unfortunately.
But since I can easily install Gimp on my linux system it is clearly superior to any proprietary windows exclusive software. I’m so glad I never even bothered with Photoshop in the first place.

I’m happy with affinity. Pity it doesn’t run on limux

Do you know what this is called or have any links? I’m not finding anything that seems like what you’re describing.
Apparently it’s this. https://github.com/ryzendew/AffinityOnLinux
