  1. Affinity software is great and while developers don't plan to make Linux version soon, maybe they could consider some engine changes, to open it for Wine in Linux. Yesterday I was looking for some alternatives for Sketchup. It is one of my favorite Windows programs without Linux native version. I've decided to try Sketchup Make 2017 with Wine because I didn't found any descent alternative. It runs great, and I must admit, I had great relief, to have one of my favorite programs runnig on Linux. I will be waiting for the same relief at Affinity programs. Best option would be Linux native version which would use all Linux advantages, but ability to run it with Wine would also be great option. For now, Windows partition stays on my disk, just because Affinity software. [...and my daughter's Roblox, which also doesn't have alternative]
  2. I am surprised by such a strong declaration that there are no plans for Linux version. The people of Serif have created software against Adobe mainstream. It worked. Why not go one step further? Sometimes you have to throw a coin behind your back to see what happens. I understand that Serif is a commercial venture and is supposed to earn money, but as they have proven by creating their programs, stereotypes can be broken by setting new trends. Maybe it's time to think about Linux? Valve decided on Linux a few years ago and is consistently developing this branch. This gives them an area of independence in case of hostile Microsoft moves. In their case, entering the world of Linux was a response to Microsoft's threats of restricting the ability to install third party software. Everything would go through Microsoft certification, of course, paid. I'm not going to teach business people from such a large company, but from observing the Linux market, the huge promotion of its potential on Youtube, you can think that the number of users is growing and will keep growing. I support the idea of creating a Linux version. If that is not possible, then at least allow Affinity to be installed via Wine.
