I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. I tried installing Wine and running CS6 under that but I kept getting the pointer bug where it registers the click but doesn't register the stroke.

I am looking into VirtualBox + Windows options but can't find my XP CD that I bought years ago. Is there a trimmed down version of Windows I could use or something like that? I'd like to stay away from Pirate Bay and downloading illegal copies of Windows.

Thanks!

Check the HP from Wine: Wine Adobe Photoshop

Many People tried to use CS2 because there is a official free download version on the hp from adobe. (Tricky to find) The only acceptable Version that works is 7.0

You could use an alternative program like GIMP. GIMP is usually packaged with Ubuntu full. GIMP does take some getting used to. For features that GIMP lacks, I'm pretty sure you could find extensions for it that does what you want it to do.

Try running it on Crossover, which is basically Wine but proprietary.

And then there's always VMs. Boot up a Windows VM and do what you need to do. But then, you aren't exactly running Photoshop on Ubuntu. But then again, you can get your work done fast enough.

I don't know if there is a lite version for Windows (except the ones that are put out by modders) but you can get Windows 10 Home for free from Microsoft's Official site if you can get access to some Windows machine using the Media Creation Tool. You can read more about how to create installation media for another computer on there. You won't be asked for an activation key. It'll have that Activation watermark and there are some restrictions on customizing your desktop, but if you are running it under a VM, I don't think that's going to be a problem. You'll get the "Your Windows is expiring" popups often enough, but they are just annoying at most and do nothing.
