    Yes, but if I wait for Gimp & Co. to become an alternative, I will be long retired or - most likely - dead.

    So having Affinity on Linux would be fantastic for gfx professionals.

      Understandable.

      Advertising for a change needs great effort. I’d rather spend the effort in improving gimp, writing down whats missing and how to get there. Adding suppor for affinity won’t improve gimp, does it?

        It doesn’t. But I wait something around 20 years for Gimp, all of my hope is gone. Inkscape evolved a lot, also Krita. Gimp just made babysteps in case of UI and UX and this is basically because of the outdated underlying technology as far as I know.

        I am an FOSS frontend dev myself, so I hate to say this. I would love to fully switch to FOSS gfx software, but especially with Gimp, its a pain in the ass, to work with it.
