That's incorrect. Yes, there has been an incident that led to people not being able to open apps on their Mac, because an Apple server was malfunctioning. This does, however, not mean that you can't run apps without an internet connection – of course not. Also, this issue is getting fixed with a future update to improve reliability and privacy. So its very funny for Apple-Haters, but only if you leave out some details ;)
Apart from that, can we please stop comparing operating systems? I know, in a thread this long, people will only read the first and the last three posts, but I ask anyway, because I get an e-mail for everyone hating Apple, or Microsoft or Affinity, or Adobe, while all I care about is the actual topic of this thread.
Also, please stop annoying people with yet another take on the economics behind Affinity's decision not (yet) to support linux. At least half of you is probably wrong anyway 😄
