Hello all,
I am aware that Serif has no plan for linux. Serif also shows every new release that they are open minded, that they listen to their users and our feedbacks. The main purpose of this forum is for them to listen to their customers, for us to give them our feedback.
As a customer and fan of Affinity, I give a BIG +1 for Affinity on linux.
As a professionnal developper I know that this is not a small job.
I own Mac, PC with both Linux and Windows, I rent linux servers. I have a good experience with all this stuff due to my job.
As a developer, linux stands above everything else for my usage. In the same way there are different pogramming languages for different usages, there are different OS for different people.
As a developer, Affinity is a perfect fit for me. The right balance between ease of use and powerfulness.
As a developer, I own more than 3000$ worth of software and something like 5000$ of hardware because I know the value of good software and because I spend most of my life in front of a screen.
As a developer, people listen to my advices. A friend of mine bought Affinity Photo following my lead, my wife owns both affinity photo and designer.
So I think developers are a good target audience for Serif.
This thread is not about Linux vs OSX vs Windows, it is about Affinity for Linux.
If you want to defend Serif's stance on the topic, I am not sure you are in a position to do so - except if you are part of Serif corp.
The fact that this forum exists and that this thread still is alive is proof they want to listen to their users. So make Serif a favor: let their users express their point of view on the topic and don't pollute their feedbacks with trollish comments about "Is Linux Professionnal, is it a crappy OS, does my mother prefer windows over Linux ...."
