gnx Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 Hi. Will Affinity V2 have a native Linux version? Cheers! cyber_shut, LinuxHG, pigeon and 3 others 6
walt.farrell Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 It certainly doesn't have one today, and Serif have said they have no plans for a Linux version right now. gnx 1 -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

AlexanderDeLarge Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 "All platforms" Not until we have Linux support which was definitely a popular request last time around. The community even got Photo 1.8 working through Wine/Bottles but now the MSIX installer is screwing up progress towards Affinity 2 suite on Linux. .
mpgarate Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 I got my hopes up for a second after seeing that "All Platforms" text. Would have happily bought v2 right away if there was linux support!
Foucault Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 A Linux version would be great. But it seems that Affinity has a deal with Apple. If only they wouldn't call it a Universal License...
Mark Ingram Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 It's nothing to do with Apple. We haven't implemented a Linux version because there simply isn't enough support for it. I realise that's not a satisfying answer for Linux fans (which I count myself as one), but take a look at the thread linked above, 136 votes of support for Affinity on Linux. It means we would never recover our engineering costs from developing a Linux version. ProgrammerSeed, Frozen Death Knight, pigeon and 2 others 1 1 3
