Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can’t have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I’ve looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I’m not sure what to do.

One of the other applications I use is Sync (sync.com), It’s an application to sync your files from a folder to the cloud allowing me to switch from my to laptop (what I can’t run most things on) and then I can still access the files on the go if I need to send them to someone.

I also play plenty of games on Steam but not all of them have native Linux Instances. I believe Proton is actually helping bring non-native games to Linux which is a plus as really wouldn’t want to lose access to playing them.

Any advice on how I can get using Linux without losing these sorts of functions or do I have to wait till Windows annoys enough people making them all move to Linux first?

    @Minty95 Thank you, yeah I think I will probably invest in External Hard Drives as I have a lot of data to store with over 5TB worth currently on my Sync Cloud Storage and that’s ever-growing. I looked into a 10TB External HDD and it seems they are around £200 which isn’t cheap by any means but is cheaper than paying £300 a year (If I only use up 15TB per year).

      Maybe a second hand NAS? They can be found dirt cheap, and often you can upgrade the HDs easily, or if your running a desktop PC with room, just add internal HDs as these are cheaper

        @Minty95 The Second-Hand NAS is a good idea, I’ve already stuffed about 5 hard drives into my already small case for my PC so NAS might be a good option.
