illustratorCClinux VS lutris

I've been trying to install the Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop and Premier pro) on steam deck. I have Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0.1 (.exe file) ready to install Illustrator, however when I try to open it through Bottles it doesn't seem to do anything. There's no error message and nothing pops up. I've tried using this link https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux I followed the steps, but I just got Konsole errors while putting in some of the commands. Has anyone been able to get this or something similar to work? Maybe I could run Bottles with dependencies, but I'm not sure which ones would work. If anyone has any information on this, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

It's funny because it was easier to get the Linux repack of illustrator setup in wine then try and install it on windows . https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux

Photoshop can run pretty well on wine( i am assuming u will have wine installed coz u need it for gaming) visit photoshopcclinux for installing it. This method only works for photoshop and illustrator for other adobe products consider its linux alternatives. For MS office follow along this youtube video. These tips i shared are a bit advanced but if u know what u are doing u will manage to get it working. Good luck on ur switch to linux.

The repo owner also owns Illustrator CC v17 repo for Linux[0]. Haven't played with either of these repos, but they seem promising.

Hi, I would like to use Adobe Illustrator on the Steam Deck for when I have it docked as a desktop. This user created an installer for it here: https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux I launched Konsole and pasted the commands in but it says I need wine installed. I tried to install wine with "sudo pacman -s wine" but I get a "keyring is not writeable". I also tried installing wine from the discover store but it's not detected by the installer. What should I do?

I know one exists for Photoshop and Illustrator and they both even download the respective apps themselves

https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux They’re actually pretty decent if you don’t care about piracy and don’t need the newest version. It’s only photoshop and illustrator though.

Can you look at this(https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux), how this scripts is made and how can I make one for newer version? Can I tweak it a bit and make it work for newer version?

You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:

* https://lutris.net

* https://github.com/lutris/lutris

It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).
