@linuxandyarn Good question! I’m not sure. I guess at some point it asks for and gets admin privileges? It’s been a while since I installed Adobe CC, so I can’t remember.

@iccir It might! It’d make sense that the apps themselves aren’t the ones to make the modification.

@decryption I need their stuff, but it’s just non-stop stuff like this from them. One day I’ll uninstall it all!

I can confirm Creative Cloud has added to my /etc/hosts file.
