Affinity for Linux is in active development
twitter.com20 points7 comments
Affinity says its creative software suite is coming to Linux and is already in active development. The company has not provided a release date or any other timeline, so the announcement confirms work is underway but leaves users without details about when the software will arrive, which Linux distributions it will support, or how it will be packaged. Affinity is known for photo editing, graphic design and publishing tools currently available on Mac, Windows and iPad.
The announcement drew enthusiastic responses from Linux users, including people who said they had hoped for the move for years. Some see an opportunity for Affinity to stand out on Linux, where they believe there are few strong alternatives for professional creative work. Others are already asking for a Flatpak release through Flathub, though no distribution or installation method has been confirmed. The key development is a concrete commitment to a Linux version, rather than a speculative possibility; the main uncertainty is when it will be ready and what form the release will take.
