Fake Photoshop puts professionals to work on Linus Tech Tips

The six-upload week also revives a seven-year-old PC project and explores Sony's official PlayStation 2 Linux kit.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Pros Try Fake AI Photoshop

Linus Tech Tips usually draws close to three million views a day. Its daily viewing is running at a little over a third of that, but the upload schedule has hardly gone quiet: six additions range from AI-built software to a long-delayed dream PC.

"Pros Try Fake AI Photoshop" drew the largest audience of the new releases, reaching about 2.6 million views. The subject is Photon Studio, a Photoshop alternative that gives the team a practical way into questions about AI coding, software cloning and reverse engineering. What do professionals make of the result, beyond the promise of free software?

The comments introduce another software name almost immediately. Several viewers expected PhotoCraft or the broader Craft suite, and requests for a separate comparison recur throughout the discussion. That distinction matters: this upload examines a different project.

Elsewhere, "Finishing What we Started Seven Years Ago" brings Alex Clark back into a water-cooled build that finally reaches Windows XP and gaming. Alex and Andy from Zip Tie Tuning & Zip Tie Tech help complete it. "This is an Official Sony Product" pursues another older computing ambition: running Sony's official Linux kit on a PS2, despite missing hardware and Japanese discs.

The strongest momentum now belongs to the AMD-sponsored Ultimate Tech Upgrade for graphic designer Victor, whose competitive arm-wrestling interest gives the setup overhaul an unexpected extra challenge. The Apple smart-home recap follows, with the Sony experiment next.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week. Among nearby gadget channels, Mrwhosetheboss had a particularly substantial weekly audience, while Unbox Therapy had a quieter one. LTT's newest upgrade, meanwhile, makes room for a washing-machine installation alongside the PC work.
