This is a great guide. I've invested heavily in MacOS, so I'll probably need to figure out an alternate approach.

One thing struck me as odd: Why make a `photoshop` alias if you're going to have the shell script in `$HOME/bin`?

Well, on OSX, there's a much easier approach: just.... run the native version of Photoshop.

Right... The same could be said for this article too, but you missed the point.

I'd like to run Photoshop on my linux workstation but I don't have Windows.

Because $HOME/bin is in the path? I always put stuff in $HOME/bin, $HOME/opt, $HOME/etc, etc. if its something that would work equally well mounted somewhere else. In this case it would just require a Linux with VirtualBox installed.
