For those of you considering switching to Linux but feel that you need to keep paying that hefty $50/month fee to Adobe to use their software that you have grown to love, then I think you should read this because we need to ween you off the teat of Adobe. Save that $50/month ($600/year) subscription you are paying for and put it to better use. Just like that fee you are paying Microsoft for the ability to type a paper.
