Hi all, Currently making the transition to Linux (Zorin OS) and Affinity Photo is really the only thing that's keeping me from leaving Windows entirely. I tried VirtualBox and Bottles, but had difficulty getting Affinity Photo to run in both instances. Anyone have an easy solution? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

And Why Affinity will gain on developing for Linux OK, so as I understand Serif needs a $500.000 mark to start developing the products for Linux. On my own personal time I already convinced many devs into buying Affinity and they never looked back into Adobe. However, most of us work on Linux/Ubunut or alike. Here's my proposal to you: - Make a PreOrder for the target of $500k - Reach the target, start develop - Deliver I pledge my self to place in preorder 2 licenses for Affinity Desiger and Affinity Photo, each! As developers we are not cheap, just so you know. Personally I purchased multiple lifetime licenses on developer training websites which are way more expensive than all your products combine 10x over. I beg of you, make this happen! You will only win! Bests, George

Do you have any plans to support Chromebooks? or linux (of the popular distros) or android os? (last I checked there were more android tablets than ios tablets [shrug]) many linux apps and many android apps will run on chrome so it could be a "several birds" kind of thing, possibly.

So, is ther any idea/plan about cross platform support? I wonder if affinity support Linux, sine they are Unix-like. I use elementary OS: http://elementaryos.org/

First off, its great to see another contender in the ring against Adobe. Microsoft tried and failed with there Expression Studio software, but then again its not the first mistake they have ever made. You guys have some solid programs and your Affinity Project looks great, but why just Mac? Hear(read) me out, I have a big love for the Linux Community. Ubuntu is the distro I use a lot on my laptop, its clean, its simple and has came a long way from the days of old. With the new Software Center and Unity Bar you can't really go wrong. The only thing Ubuntu lacks is big business software. There seems to be this thing about software you pay money for over something that is free, the free stuff just doesn't give people the same feeling as bought. So here is what I suggest, why not develop for Linux (Ubuntu)? I know plenty of people in design that if they knew a solid design application was out for Ubuntu they'd switch. It's gawna happen soon Serif, Steam(games) are encouraging people to develop their games for Linux for SteamOS. these game will be available on the Steam client for Ubuntu. Think about it, the more Steam pushes Linux, the more younger people will choose the free Linux OS distros that support steam clients. This means in the future there will be a pretty good opening for a solid design studio on Linux. Being the Adobe of the Linux world wouldn't be a bad thing, since the power house Adobe refuse to support Linux. https://forums.adobe.com/message/4728888 Think about it Serif.
