Damn, and I was (cautiously) happy that Affinity is coming to Linux, guess I should temper my expectation more.

    It‘s Canva. You shouldn‘t expect anything from them. A free of charge Affinity version is a neat thing but I hope we‘re all aware they bought the company for the same reasons Adobe buys companies. They want to trap users and make money. I‘ll enjoy the free program until something better comes along but I won‘t be Canva‘s loyal customer.

    Agree, I'm just curious about Affinity because I heard about it a lot in digital artists space I'm around. Just feel bad for my fellow artists.

    For whats worth, Affinity is free and available on Linux. It probably won‘t get new updates at some point but it‘s pretty capable already. So even if it‘s being phased out you could probably take your time with a replacement because it will still be good for a while. But yeah, Canva is definitely not our friend.
