Snapseed Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 3 hours ago, jaizon said: Blender is backed up by big companies, also, GIMP is a completely different story, it already has great tools and functionality but a really bad ui/ux. Gimp's sucky interface can be cured with the addition of the PhotoGimp patch so it then looks like it has joined the 21st century. While the current development team has made good and useful progress, Gimp is still missing essential features like non-destructive editing and full, inbuilt CMYK capability and that will hopefully start to change with the Gimp 3.0+ series of releases.

If relate on system dependency and don't provide them for example inside /opt/affinity/*.* then true. For Flatpak can either provide any runtime version - event outdated. So good rethink how provide automated CI/CD on Flatpak || RPM and DEB solution can be quite easy. Flatpak for start and after working on - provide RPM and DEB package.

Sure, there are great Chromebooks but the majority isn't geared towards performance, but optimisation instead.

Also, most Chromebooks wouldn't be able to handle AP. Hardware limitation is real. I mean, even the new so called "Gaming Chromebooks" are meant for cloud gaming. I don't really see a reason for anyone to invest in creating a software like AP or PS aimed at these devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While CrossOver 22 (Wine 7.7) couldn't pop-up the install menu, PlayOnLinux with 6.17 64-bit Wine could start up the install menu, but I couldn't go further cause it appeared the warning that I don't have a supported Windows version. Let's see if others progressed further. On both I set up Win10 environment Snapseed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eobet Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Windows 10 is probably the last Microsoft OS I will install. The adware and spyware in 11+ is too much for me. Counting software I use, Affinity (and one other piece of software) are the only remaining holdouts without native Linux versions. How the tides have changed! +1 for official Linux support. chiddekel, Imonobor, Bez Bezson and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Are there any new? I am going to change to linux later this year. My next PC will be a System76 Thelio desktop... an absolute beast for creative work - I would love to use Affinity software with it.. Best would be nativly... .-P Affinity would be a perfect fit for Linux - there are so many overlaps of characteristics of the userbase - I think a person who uses Affinity is keen to change to Linux aswell.

Process of getting development, event if the user base reached more than 1 million and active Linux machine, is to complicated ( stack related on Windows and Mac System dependency ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
