Greetings Linux users, this really may be the “Year of the Linux Desktop”!
Just recently released by ArtCraft is a suite of applications to replace just about everything from Adobe app, it is free and opensource!
I have added these to the DeLinuxCo repo, easy installation for testing. Remember, these are AppImages, they are self contained, they will not hurt your system like Adobe!
Native applications to replace many if not most Adobe products like Photoshop, Lightroom, After Effects, Adobe Acrobat etc. More info on Github page. ArtCraft · GitHub
Here is the current list of ArtCraft packages in DeLinuxCo repo:
| ArtCraft App | Replacement For |
|---|---|
| effectcraft-appimage | Adobe After Effects |
| filmcraft-appimage | Adobe Premiere Pro |
| lightcraft-appimage | Adobe Lightroom |
| pdfcraft-appimage | Adobe Acrobat |
| photocraft-appimage | Adobe Photoshop |
| soundcraft-appimage | Avid Pro Tools |
| vectorcraft-appimage | Adobe Illustrator |
Installing the apps:
There are two ways to install, either one app at a time or by using the meta package
artcraft-suite
You can use Pamac and use the search box by typing “craft-appimage”, this will display all of the appimages by ArtCraft, then you can select the one you want to install.
Second method is to install the artcraft-suite meta package, installing this one package will install all seven applications at once.
Note: installing artcraft-suite, means that when a new ArtCraft application is added to the meta package, the package manager will download the new application along side any updates, just an FYI.
