I don't think it is possible.

Adobe is the leader in this field, everybody simply tries to replicate
what they do. And developers in Linux have never even tried to get that
close, in decades... I don't see them closing the gap soon.

And adobe has abandoned the Linux field, no idea why. Must be
intentional, some hidden agenda. Yes, I'm paranoid in this respect.
Either that, or they are sorely pissed with Linux.
