I want so badly to switch to Linux on my main machine, but I have some projects of my on Adobe InDesign, anyone has an actual good alternative that can read InDesign files?

Switch to linux but keep your old windows on a partition or different hard drive for whenever you want to work on that stuff.

Duel boot until you can ween yourself off. You can use both.

Can you not use wine or proton to run InDesign? I don't know shit about shit though, I'm still using CS2 😂

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

As far as my research came up, only CS6 works, however all my stuff was made with 2020+ editions, so it would break my projects. It seems VivaDesigner is the way, but it's paid only... And I never paid for adobe lol

However, it seems that Scribus can now read indesign markup files, I would just have to export all my projects in that format and test first.
