yeah that’s what I meant. it was updated at a snail’s pace up until 2.8, and then the dam broke. it’s been getting updated so fast now it’s hard to keep up honestly. somehow it doesn’t feel as bloated as Adobe AI or PS.
Must be really exciting for people who have been using it for a longer time! And I have heard that adobe products have gotten really slow. Thankfully I don’t need them.
affinity’s apps blow them out of the water in terms of performance. and unlike Adobe’s suite they actually work well with each other. meanwhile adobe products call the same filter different things on each app, pen tool works differently on each app, etc.
affinity suite is not FOSS but they only sell you major versions (1.0, 2.0) once and you get all updates until the next major version for free. obviously you don’t even need to buy new major versions (although 2.x is so much better than 1.x) and can keep using your version without paying anything forever. so 1000x better than Adobe’s extortion subscription plans.
I’ve heard people praise and was excited adobe has a competitor. I know I’m not the target group for such apps but it still makes me sad that they don’t support linux.
I know someone who really wants to switch fully to linux and stop dualbooting, but they can’t due to professional software in their fields not being supported on linux :( hope this changes or that our beloved FOSS apps gain similar momentum as Blender.
