I'm developer and can tell you, that most companies are moving also their main os from windows to linux in terms of optimal and secure development environment. Maybe that's the reason why microsoft are aiming to use Linux Kernel in future and just set their own desktop on top. 
And I think as soon some graphic players moving their tools like Affinity or Photoshop to Linux, the private market is moving in big steps to linux desktop too.
So I'm not wondering the high interest, because many I know are searching for tools with linux support and decide then to switch the OS.
But if they don't find their tools, they stay at windows or mac...

Yeah, who wouldn't... I'd be happy with a Steam version, or a Wine + Proton one, if not native, really...

Found this thread in a google search to see if Affinity supports linux. I'm ready to buy when they do since I refuse to use operating system level spyware from Windows.

You don't have to be a genius to look at a product offering and realize that it's more than adequate for your needs. At this point, there's a wealth of knowledge on youtube about how Affinity, and many other apps, work.

And, factually, having used the apps, it's abundantly clear that they don't intend to just replace AdobeCC, but instead build a better app all around. That shouldn't come as a surprise, Adobe is in an unenviable situation with their apps. If they changed them enough that they would work better, they'd break all kinds of legacy support, not to mention the collective user screeching would be downright deafening if they changed the UI/Workflow, even if those changes were objectively improving things.

That's also why Affinity is uniquely positioned to capture the Linux market. Being that they're a smaller company, with a much, much smaller codebase to manage, which makes it a much cheaper proposition than it would be for adobe.

My coworker recommended them and there's a big need for a feature filled graphics editor in Linux.
And that's correct, I never use Windows.

Hi corsseir,

Welcome to the forum.

This is something that has been requested before but we have no plans to develop Affinity apps for Linux i'm afraid.
 
 

Seriously we Need a Affinity like softwares for Linux.
 
So Developers want 500000. I believe, If every Linux User Donates $1, the donation will exceede your target. You just need to set a page for collecting donations and put the word out. Every Linux (Graphics)user will support Affinity.
 
Please give it just 1 try at-least and put the word out. All our Linux community will support. We love and support Good, Quality softwares.
 
Ubuntu/Mint/SUSE/Fedora are few good flavours for Linux platform.
 
Hope to see a donation page soon.
