kaffeeundsalz Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Maybe Serif should just give that guy a copy of their source code. Sounds like ready-to-run Linux versions of both Photo and Designer would just be a few easy compiling minutes away then! I literally can't wait!

If any, I will tray a make Indiegogo crowdfund - rising money for developing and customer care support for Affinity suite for Linux. Make installation package of *.deb files is described in this book:https://debian-handbook.info/about-the-book/ Make installation basic package of *.rpm is described here:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_a_GNU_Hello_RPM_package Universal snaps approach [ Flatpak | Snapcraft ] here & here:http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/basic-concepts.html https://build.snapcraft.io/ And more like windows "Installation Wizard" approach: For example:https://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you are not providing any "detailed tech talk" -- in fact, much of what you write is almost completely unintelligible because you so frequently butcher the English language & just provide vague references to things the developers almost certainly know much more about than you do, without providing any substantive detail about them at all. You also seem almost totally naive about the realities of the business world or the actual process of developing software apps. But aside from that, you are doing great. toltec and chiddekel 1 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrPx Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well, sorry. That was almost evil, even from me.... Look, chiddekel, this is the situation : You are not convincing the 'powers that be' behind the company. You probably are a very talented coder (and if you know python and C++, that's great knowledge and path, and I am not being ironical now, certainly not ), but here the problem is, as I believe you are already detecting, fully business related. It is not a technical issue, so it doesn't matter how many technical explanations you make here. And the reasons for them to move away from that position (that is, to make a Linux port) would so only be business related, and/or company structure related. You are NOT going to convince them, this is a fact. It is better for your own sake if you assume it already.... We all believe you are not really fully understanding some answers, as well....

The only things you have 'brought on' are a painful to read demonstration of your inability to use the English language to communicate anything clearly, & your woeful lack of understanding of how commercial software development actually works.
