That's true, for now there's nothing on Linux I can use for my photography. But I use Linux for everything else, such as research for my master degree, small audio and video projects, vectors on Inkscape, and so on. I really enjoy using Linux, and just like you I've had nothing but positive experiences.

As I said, none of the alternatives for Linux meets my needs. I've tried all of those editors, I know Diolinux's patch as well. I've had the same conversation countless times throughout the years and every time people think they're suggesting me something new I haven't tried before. I'm not saying the applications available for Linux aren't good. They are great for many photographers. What I'm saying is, they are not suitable for **ME and MY work.** I'm not a photographer who offers photo sessions and deliver small digital images. I sell prints through an art gallery. I print, sell and work on the same images for many years. They must match perfectly, it doesn't matter if I've printed them today or 5 years ago. They must be exactly the same. Since I don't want to use Adobe products anymore, I will stick to Affinity, even though it's a pity they will not develop a Linux application. Maybe in the future there will be something I can use on Linux, but for now, that's not an option.

OMG I wish I could use Affinity Photo on Linux. I'm not a developer, I'm just a photographer. I would pay even a higher price than I've payed for affinity on windows. Affinity is the only reason why I still use windows. I know there are options to edit images avaliable for Linux but none of them satisfy my needs. Affinity is the only true alternative to PS when it comes to my work, but unfortunately it keeps me stuck to windows. Not all people who use Linux are nerds or developers and no, we don't use Linux just to give a longer life to old computers. My computer is pretty new and powerful.
