Photoshop cs2 is ~~free to download~~ and probably works well on wine as its old as hell.
Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.
GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.
When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.
I'm sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.

My answer to things like this is "why would I want to do something like that?".
Reminds me of a setup I had for local serial multiplayer on my Atari ST. I had cable going from the ST's 25 pin serial port to a 9-pin connector, a gender changer, a null modem module, then 9-pin back to 25-pin. But hey, it worked.
Gimp sucks.
And ps works with wine if you have it on windows already and drag over some system32 dlls
I've been using Gimp for simple things, and it's been OK once I realized that whatever I want to do, I should look it up first instead of just trying to figure it out through trial and error.

Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.
Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.
Granted i havent tried gimp 3. Ill have to give it a try. But im so fast with ps. And i hate how each program needs to have their own control schemes to differentiate.
I just dont get why people hate photoshop to the point of being unhelpful when people ask how to get it working. Especially when many people are pirating it anyways.

The problem that arises is that you have to remember three different UIs and run them all simultaneously which I've measured use up more RAM, which sometimes reduces my efficency and increases my system resources more, instead of using the shit UI of Photoshop that the whole world decided to accept as the defacto standard to duplicate
It is all keyboard shortcuts, though, and you can configure them to all use the same ones. I believe they have a "Photoshop-like" preset you can select too.
About the RAM, I'm not sure what can be done. I guess it is a tradeoff. I'd probably go with more RAM consumption over Photoshop because I have a lot of RAM, but not everyone do. Considering the price of Photoshop if you didn't pirate it, it would be cheaper to buy and install more RAM, though.

Hah, we used to have some of those AUI to 10Base2 transducers back in the day in the office. Definitely had one on the IBM RS6000/220 box.
I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was "⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐" due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.
So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.
Or just run it in a Windows VM and save yourself a ton of grief? Win10 LTSC works just fine.
Meeh, I dual boot.
Just use Krita or the Affinity line of software (works under WINE pretty much flawlessly).
You've managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can't get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I'm happy to give them money for it even.

I recall a native build of Photoshop 3 running on Irix. That was a long time ago though.
Well ain’t that just a string of memories.
I don’t use Adobe, I make money just fine without it.
Add one more adapter to plug that 1/4" into a sound card, plug a printer into the other end, and then hire Abdul Alhazred to write a Cups driver.
Love the rs232 to scsi adapter that thing is dope.
The answer is very much "Don't run Photoshop"
(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)
Fuck Adobe
