    If Adobe wanted to cement themselves to the creatives forever, all they'd need to do is port to Linux. We'd all go.

I've known about Linux since about 2002, before Red Hat became Fedora. I became a Linux user myself around 2008 when I needed something to keep my ancient PC running because I didn't have the cash for a new one. I don't pay too much attention to Linux communities or anything, and this might be personal perception, but it seems like it becomes a little more popular every year. People seem to talk about it more and more often and every now and again they talk about Linux becoming mainstream as if it's just barely around the next corner. Digital Game Services starting to cater to Linux users is the latest little kindle to reflame that hope. Something major like Adobe announcing dedicated Linux software would probably make people in the Linux community lose their minds with excitement.
