Regarding After Effects on Linux, here's our official statement from last year:
"After Effects for Linux: A lot of us on the After Effects team wish that this were more feasible, but the truth is that it just isn’t realistic in the foreseeable future. Porting an application to another operating system, and then testing, maintaining, and supporting it on that OS is a tremendous amount of work. We just haven’t been able to make a business case for being able to fund that tremendous amount of work given the size of the likely return on that investment. We are still looking into this, but we want to be honest and let you know that it isn’t likely to happen soon."
I've worked on an Adobe Linux application (before I joined the After Effects team), so I know that it's possible. But we have higher priorities for After Effects right now.
