We are currently seeing a huge increase in people considering to install Linux because of the actions of both Microsoft and the autocratic U.S. government. Among these people are many who rely on creative software by Adobe or other companies, for which there is no comparable alternative with Linux support. If we can convince Affinity to provide Linux support for their programs (Designer, Photo, Publisher), a lot more people will likely ditch Windows, and a lot of people who are already using Linux will get easy access to powerful (one-time payment) creative software.

    Developers don’t have to be so arrogant. In fact stuff like this pushes other developers away too.

    Not to mention from what I’ve heard GIMP just doesn’t compare to the paid options for professional work.
