Despite this not being FOSS like GIMP, I think it’s great that there is at least some very viable alternative that can run on Linux even with some workaround, for free (besides Photopea).
I use Darktable and GIMP for my photography workflow. Its good but not great. Affinity is worth trying for me and probably many others. I’ve been on the cusp of loading a modified version of windows onto a machine. Hopefully this works
Not open source folks. Don’t fucking use this shite. They have shills all over Reddit and don’t like being called out on it.
i stuck with GIMP and its still number 1 for me :3
https://graphite.rs/ is a free open source Photoshop alternative with great default shortcuts
Hey! How about side loading! Or maybe selling your personal information to Walmart?
Hmmm it looks like you could use green paint based on your recent Photoshop of your porch with that naked dude!
Or maybe it will send things like your favorite temperature level or music or sleeping patter or sex position to Farmers Insurance so they can charge you more!
Fuck bending over backwards to accommodate them, they can do a Linux release or GTFO, does not have to be FOSS, just native
I used to use Affinity Publisher and Design all the time back when i was on Windows, now I just use Inkscape and Scribus
Years later, still trying to get my head around Lightroom changing to Darktable because DT is so much more powerful and Itm a fuckibg lazy idiot but that’s Adobe.
does not have to be FOSS
I’m basically not interested in software anymore if it’s not FLOSS. I don’t even mess with non-free source-available software or proprietary freeware anymore.
You don’t have to be elitist about it though. Most people find switching to Linux difficult because of no immediate good alternatives. Having at least something even if not FOSS or native helps immensely
While I agree with a native port. I think work around like this is also good too since it shows demand. I mean it’s why there is a good level of hype around Linux Gaming thanks to Steam and its Proton compatibility layer.
So long as Affinity isn’t blocked from running like what adobe does. I think this is fine until a universal binary is possible.
Publisher and Design are such great pieces of software. It really hurt my soul when I had to abandon them as I moved to Linux:(
Free Photoshop in a browser. Some modest ads, nothing intrusive. Ublock is stopping those for now. I’d be glad to pay for such fine software, maybe I’d pay the $5/mo. were I a pro.
I usually disable ads for that site since they provide amazing stuff for free!!!
Anyone know how this compares to Krita?
I enjoyed it more than Krita. I find the UI more intuitive and closer to Photoshop, which was my #1 (at least for CS6). Photoshop remains the only piece of software that doesn’t have a reasonable subsitiute or Linux client.
Interesting. I’ll give it a try, thanks!
