That’s probably wrong. You don’t want to use something other than Office or Adobe suite because you’re used to that, even though there are programs that work perfectly well for the same things available on Linux. And that’s okay. It’s okay to want to keep using what you’re used to. But it’s a lie to say you’ll never get by without those programs you’re used to.
When you say “work together” is that some feature Adobe applications have like how several people can work on the same thing in Google Docs (or probably Office 365 as well?)?
Oh, damn, I forgot that part when I started to write my reply. D’oh!
I still believe that one can get by without using them if one is using a personal PC ( ;P ) for work. Then the only important thing should be if the input and output of ones work is correct enough. Now, if the company is supplying a PC with specific software they want you to use I think that’s different, because then it’s not about you any more. If you get a choice when it comes to work you’re lucky IMO. Would’ve been great if it was normal that people got to choose, but that’d probably be too much work for the IT department compared to just making everything the same.
Yeah at my previous job I was forced to use Windows for Office/Adobe, but now I get more freedom and use Linux. Really depends on the organisation and how you’re expected to collaborate.
No. No way. Not a single alternative to Photoshop comes even close. Trying to use Gimp instead is an absolute joke. I like Linux but you’re fooling yourself with this take.

My problem is that we work together in Adobe apps at my work. I can’t switch to anything else unless the whole organisation does.
I could try to change what they use, but it’s a different task.

They indicated that they want to switch, but if work forces you to use Office and Adobe then that is what you’re stuck with.
