Can Adobe Photoshop run reliably on Linux?

In the past when attempting to install Photoshop on Linux, I've had little success. In reality there is probably no foolproof solution that will allow Photoshop to run without any problems, though there may be a few more things you can try:

• Install using PlayOnLinux PlayOnLinux is a program similar to Wine, though is designed primarily to run Windows games on Linux
• Install using a virtual machine with Windows If you can get your hands on a Windows install ISO file, you can install Windows within Linux using a virtual machine, with either VirtualBox or KVM (thanks to mattdm in comments) probably being your best options. Once you install Windows with the virtual machine, you can then install Photoshop inside the Windows environment, and boot into it whenever you need to use the program. It is worth noting, mainly depending on your computer, that virtual machines use only a portion of your system's resources, so you need to make sure that the virtual machine has access to enough computing power to run Photoshop.

Alternatively, which may be more than you're asking, you could dual boot Windows alongside Linux, though that is a last resort and probably isn't what your looking for. I reluctantly use Windows, and the ability to use Photoshop is essentially the only reason I don't currently use Linux.
