We are currently seeing a huge increase in people considering to install Linux because of the actions of both Microsoft and the autocratic U.S. government. Among these people are many who rely on creative software by Adobe or other companies, for which there is no comparable alternative with Linux support. If we can convince Affinity to provide Linux support for their programs (Designer, Photo, Publisher), a lot more people will likely ditch Windows, and a lot of people who are already using Linux will get easy access to powerful (one-time payment) creative software.
#AffinityOnLinux
To play devils advocate: please name me an entire open source list of alternatives for each part of affinity studio/adobe suite.
For bonus points, all programs should be mutually agreed by other people as “the best not Adobe” and for extra extra points, they should all be part of a studio package for ease of installation for creatives
Now if someone made these demands in an open source thread they’d probably get a new asshole ripped open for being entitled with such requirements for free software. Instead, someone is saying they’d pay for affinity Linux software that meets this criteria but youre telling them to use open source which is not helpful.
Don’t get me wrong, open source is great. I do use gimp but i still need alternatives to affinity studio and it would’ve made moving to Linux much easier if i could use affinity on Linux.
