    Basic question here: Is it possible to get Adobe Premiere Pro to run on Linux? I am considering switching over from the Mac platform for various reasons, one of which is what will become of the Mac Pro (as we know it) down the road. I am a bit reluctant to switch over to Windows.

    Hi David,

    Linux a no go for Adobe. I really wouldn’t worry too much about the MacPro. I doubt it will be killed anytime soon.

    While you could argue that they killed FCP, well they didn’t really, the MacPro is pretty much Apple’s only high end machine and I can’t imagine them killing it now. And by the time they do, you might be editing on an iPad 🙂

    We use both MacPro and PCs and while I have come to prefer OSX for its simplicity, I would have no problem trusting either one for a long haul project.

    Even if it was possible to run in under Wine, I very much doubt it would be feasible, performance would suffer much like in any virtual machine.

    Worst comes to worst, run Boot Camp (or VirtualBox, VMWare) and put Windows on it. Then you can get used to PP on a PC without having to transition just yet.
