![]() ![]() I see quite more authentic (and brave, and ethic, and free, and.) to go help the great guys at Gimp (and Inkscape, Scribus, Blender, Krita.), doing A TON of efforts now. ![]() Not depending any more on a few monopolizing top dog companies, which they will, if keep only depending on ported binaries of closed source commercial apps from other OSes.Ī lot of this spirit is IMO clearly lost with the " hey, lets pray/pester the closed source companies from OTHER platforms to get us what we had BEFORE when we were at those platforms". It's an effort for generosity with others, sharing is in its essence, and freedom of movement. They, IMO, don't get that the advantage of linux is not just that it is zero cost and respectful with privacy. They don't care that they are using CLOSED source binaries with tons of restrictions, very far from open source principles. Might be just the impression I get, but is becoming more established when I read posts here and complaints in a bunch of other forums, social media sites, comment sections in articles. Not because they believe in its philosophy and what they are willing to achieve since the beginning. I am seeing many more "users" that just want to stay away from Windows, and use Linux just to not use Windows, as the main or single motivation. And that'd TOTALLY go with the Linux Sucks (for ever) video that a dev posted here. Or maybe is not such a "community" anymore. I know I could/can do pro stuff with it) are left alone and discarded by a vast portion of the community. Wouldn't change at all the great AP 1.7 beta for it, but YUP If I was yet a Linux fan, as I was. Even more, I enjoyed variety as I did as a kid with Christmas presents) is that jewels like Blender, Inkscape and Gimp ( really! check it out! Their pace has FINALLY changed, after decades. Much better now. Had Suse, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, Ubuntu, Mint. What I find more painful, as someone who likes open source apps ( not so much about a particular OS, even less a distro, and even less a desktop.That never ending fight between KDE and Gnome.GEEZ (btw, liked both). I simply don't understand why Linux users can't seem to grasp that ? If they're doubtful about supporting Linux they just have to contact Canonical or Red Hat and ask them for more information and even establishing a partnership to launch their apps and market them. They're missing an opportunity of entering a market that is completely vacant since Photoshop ignores it. Anyway, I don't believe there's interest from the company to release this software in Linux which is a pity. If anyone wants any support in other distros, having Affinity software in Snaps helps with that. They just need to throw their hat and say: we support ONLY Ubuntu and use a snap format. They don't need to make sure that it works no matter how the OS is configured. Obviously, Linux can be configured to support all of that in some way or another, but think about how much extra work it would take for the developers to make sure Affinity would run smoothly no matter how that OS was configured. A bunch of resources still have to be available from somewhere to support things like built-in help systems, font & text management, print & other device drivers, file level metadata, window servers, etc. ![]()
