Apologies for being the bearer of bad news. “6 hours ago” means roughly 6-7pm Eastern on April 30, 2025. I have no further information; I only know because I was going to visit the wiki and . . . apparently now I’m not.
It’s under “Guides & Search Engines” in the Software section of the megathread, should anyone with rights care to update.
From search : GenP is a tool that allows you to medicine Adobe apps on Windows 10 and 11
to medicine > to crack
You’d download legit trial versions of adobe shit and use GenP to disable the trial and call home functionalities. Brilliant bit of kit before I moved to Linux.
I run photoshop in wine just fine ;)
What version do you run?👀👀
CC 2021 (I know the URL says 22, but it provides both options and 22 allegedly is less stable)
https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux
Can this work for acrobat?
No idea!

Some old versions seem to run fine.
Did you know that google paid wine to make cs2 run properly?

To medicine?
Yeah odd but on GitHub there is mention of pill 💊, either loss in translation or lingo https://github.com/wangzhenjjcn/AdobeGenp/releases
It’s just an euphemism, “DRM / License check” = “disease”.
So to medicine is like to download lots of Linux ISOs, sometimes.
I also love to legally torrent my favourite open source software legally.
Thx
Imagine using Adobe. Being bled dry.
I use a really good, free alternative to photoshop and indesign.
They’re called pirated photoshop and pirated indesign.
Photoshopea! Browser based and almost as good.
Though I am not a professional.
Using it at all, even pirated, means becoming contaminated on some level with Adobe paradigms and makes more people more likely to eventually hand Adobe more money because “it’s what I’m used to”.
At least pirate something that isn’t so disgusting, like Affinity, if you simply must use corpo software.
Or, you know, “stay hungry” and keep learning new UI & methods to achieve your target results. Not everyone’s a spoonfed moron, but I do agree with your pointing out that Adobe is merely following suit in the age-old “first time’s free” routine.
For reasons that should be crystal clear at this point to anyone with half a brain, Crapple “gave” millions of their candy-colored shitboxes to schools around the country throughout the 90s, and look at 'em now. 🤮
Don’t shame the consumer, fellow citizen. You’re just as much profit fodder as the rest of us.
Yeah, every time I use a program for free, it really makes me think “man, if only I could shell out over $100 a year for this”. Such a problem I have.
