What works
The program runs virtually as intended under a standard Ubuntu install of winehq on Linux Mint 20.3.
What does not
The sunflower splash screen is not transparent. Non-essential.
Workarounds
Opening Photoshop Elements 2.0 for the first time on a fresh install of winehq produces a sunflower splash screen which obstructs a pop-under prompt requesting you to install Gecko. The splash screen will not progress beyond "Building Help System" until Gecko is installed. This can be solved by killing the Photoshop Elements process, accepting the prompt, and relaunching the program.
What was not tested
Most features were not tested, however a cursory exercise confirms that the program is capable of creating new documents, saving those documents (in both .psd and .png), reopening those saved documents, opening documents from newer versions of Photoshop, picking colors, drawing with the brush tool, applying filters, creating layers, merging layers, selecting sections of layers, pasting images between documents, transforming those images, etc.
The text tool could not be tested because default fonts were not installed.
Photoshop Elements 2.0 was also found to occasionally crash during launch under a bare-bones installation of Wine 5.0. This error could not be reproduced during testing of this install.
