If you told Joe that Apple own a warehouse full of genetically altered chickens that actually laid iPhones he’d stare at you, slack-jawed and wonder why this hasn’t been reported in the press. Just a fucking clown from his toes to his eyelashes.
Never use 7z, because I do design work for a living and sending things to clients should be as trouble-free as possible - lots of corporate setups don’t allow additional programs to be installed, so zip files are a baseline for things that everyone, anywhere, can open. People have enough trouble trying to understand a WeTransfer download link, let alone some bizarro file format that could be flagged by their antivirus.
There will be massive performance issues due to driver support and in the way modern Adobe apps use the GPU to handle a lot of the work. Over the past few years as GPU’s have become insanely powerful, Adobe have retooled a lot of their apps to make use of that number-crunching - before you could bruteforce it with a decent CPU but now a lot of program functions are handled by the graphics card - even things like canvas scaling and rotation are only active using the GPU.
Until Adobe make native versions (and there is corresponding driver support - nVidia run drivers built specifically for creative apps like those from Adobe and Autodesk), I wouldn’t even consider using Linux for any type of creative work, to be honest.
ahem I think you’ll find they are called iHens, actually. Each one has been spliced with Jobs’ DNA, so instead of clucking they constantly say ‘boom’.
