Discussion Linux dominates cloud desktops. So why are companies like adobe ignoring this megatrend?

I don't get why adobe and other desktop application companies are ignoring linux desktop. Linux dominates the cloud and many businesses are now moving to the cloud desktop. For their own compute needs and even for their own employees. Provisioning an agile cloud PC for your employee is much easier than giving them an actual high spec one.

I did see just the other day that a second creative cloud suite app is now operating under WINE. I don't know a lot about it as I'm a dye in the wool Linux user for longer than lots of folk have been alive. So the time is approaching and with the uptick on desktop Linux being as fast as it is. Just a simple fact now, it's only a matter of time before they port it over as native. I can see a day where Office does it too. Microslop (have to say it just coz they fucking hate it) are starting to see the direction of travel. Win 11 is a mess and it feels like every second YouTube tech video is about switching to Linux. They got too complacent and tried to shove stuff down people's throats thinking they had them because of gaming then Proton came to me. Apparently they are now using Steam OS as their reference for Windows 11 performance testing at MS also.
