Thank you, Guys for your answers. I can see clearly that Serif policies are odd, as they completely ignore some customers and their needs and care only for their business. Unacceptable to me. This time they decided not to support customers who use windows 7. They completely ignore Android (which is the most popular OS in the world (more popular than Windows, generally). They do not support Linux, others companies do. What will they decide tomorrow? Subscriptions? Who knows? But I am afraid, they will dissatisfy us more than once...Therefore I cannot count on them. I will choose GIMP+KRITA+INKSCAPE+SCRIBUS+DARKTABLE+NATRON+RAWTHERAPEE to have peace of mind. Supporting these projects will be well money spent that won't turn against me. I will occasionally buy some other apps that support Linux (or at least work on WINE or Cross Over Linux)

Thanks for your reply. Sad but at least things clear to me. They ignore me, so I have to ignore them and look for alternatives. Corporations are always like that; that is why I prefer free/FOSS software. Time to send my money to Krita and other open source projects...

It seems that Affinity products (v2)are no longer privacy friendly as they are no longer available for Windows 7...Am I right? As a GNU/Linux daily driver user I used Affinmity apps on a virtual machine on my Windows 7. They worked pretty well and that is why I purchased all 3 of them as well as some add-ons. I consider Windows 7 the last user-friendly OS by Microsoft. Windows 10/11 and Apple OSes are all spyware to me that i must avoid. I am very much disappointed with Serif that Affinity is no longer for me. Can you help me in any way? Any plans to port Affinity apps to Linux/Android or at least CrossOver Linux or will you completely ignore such customers like me?
