Look on office 365 - they have web version so it's not Linux desktop version issue - but rather make work despite which platform is using for run the product. This unlocking possibility to reach Home Use on Linux Dekstop and have big impact of Corporations Linux Workstations.

1-st solution - is the simple update path if distribute by flatpak https://flatpak.org/ if app and library will provide by flatpak repo - then Linux Distro agnostic. 2nd solution - If compile to WASM - https://emscripten.org/ and provide on server as Saas - then ( team manage update on server ) and user always have recent app version.

Yes - Solution 2 is the hard way - the developers of Affinity Product have some knowledge of coding principle so this is not issue. Solution 1 it's easier - the use of change compile target to WASM with https://emscripten.org - and run on browser in native speed. This tool is to c̶o̶d̶e̶ compile an app the size and complexity beyond Affinity product.

There are several approach to one code base for multiple OS - one is Sass in cloud compile to WASM and run in broswer thanks to - https://emscripten.org/ In that way compile are many application include LibreOffice - https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/19/webassembly_port_libreoffice/ The another approach is use SWIFT language On Linux and Windows: https://www.swift.org/getting-started/#on-linux This is simple guide how to code on Swift.

Technically Compile to web assamble will took minutes o houres and run in Browser with native speed 🚄. https://emscripten.org/ On Buissnes side - this can be the Sass Model payment, hosted on server with account for any user 👤 just like office 365 account and login can be with Google or Facebook oauth 2.

Another pragmatic aproche to multiplatform. Emacscipten compile code from C, C++ to WASM and run on Browser: https://emscripten.org/ Porting Compile your existing projects written in C or C++ — or any language that uses LLVM — to browsers, Node.js, or wasm runtimes. In this way ported the LibreOffice: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/19/webassembly_port_libreoffice

It's can be true - or developers and staff who create affinity success have not much time to do research. I working in one company who has many greatest technical skilled people after year realize that there are thousands of thousands library and c++ tools for Unix platform, after year all migrate to Linux and avoid compiling software for Linux on the window with wine headers library.

Sarcasm is poison for the soul :]

NO - Thread topic is:Affinity products for LinuxWhen, how, and where can be the inspiration for that goal would be found (Library, SDL, OPENGL, MESA, GLUT, ) (Software BLE NDER 3D, GIMP, KRITA). If you don't want participation in this topic, got to another that you are interested in. :]

Great news is: https://docs.gimp.org/2.9/en/gimp-introduction-whats-new-lab-lch.html

Cool - that way in GIMP is USE an ICC color MANAGEMENT It's a hack but works. The full support is not about CMYK but reimplemented CIE LAB space. Whay? It's important for not reduce tiny edge of CMYK space.

As you wish ;] YES this is CMYK support - you do not read carefully very important label below sliders, info about Profile assignment. Start of version 2.4 gimp already has Integrate ColorManagement system. ICC color profile can be import and assignment to desired color space. How it's work - after setting up ICC CMYK AND RGB profiles and choose the color, you can use CMYK space properly.

There you have...
