Disappointing as always : ( no shop no finity - fusion fucking sucks anyways
I run Linux on my plex server and have set ones up for friends, introducing them to Linux in the process, but my daily driver will be a Mac until there support for either of these apps suites. I use photoshop. Illustrator, and indesign so much that I can’t be without them. I’d be willing to try switching to affinity’s suite if it had Linux support, but, as it stands, my MacBook Pro is my main machine.
At least macOS is unix. It’s pretty nice once you figure out how to work around the Apple guardrails intended to keep this kiddies from breaking things by accident. Although, I would prefer the ability to build a nice gaming rig, and right now, linux is a better gaming platform than the Mac is, which really makes me sad.
Also: I am in the process if switching to affinity to stick it to fucking adobe.
Gotta say, so far I'm liking it a lot. All 3 of them are like 90$. I'm currently on a 180 day free trial.
Oh damn - I feel. I carry a reviOS laptop between my two Linux workstations for affinity and a some other proprietary software.
Been thinking about just having a LAN only mini PC that can access my a NAS with the files on it ... WAIT - I could VM that shit. Hmmmmm that might work.
I have been an Apple guy for so long, a lot because they’re both not Windows and - for a very long time - the most friendly *nix environment available with gaming and Adobe support.
Well, that was 20 years ago. Also 10. But Linux has come sooo faaaar that I just don’t understand Adobe’s reluctance to release CC on Linux. Really, most of the hard work is already done to make it work on macOS. Making the leap to general comparability between distros shouldn’t be too difficult, considering the similarities in the architecture.
Regarding Affinity, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were working on Linux ports of their apps. They could dominate the Linux market if they did so before Adobe.
