12/10/2023 0 Comments Affinity publisher linux![]() ![]() Everyone in our company use GNU/Linux for developing. I work as Web Developer (Angular4, VueJS, Django, Laravel, NodeJS) in company that provides to the market the best NLU and ASR Artificial Intelligence. Calculations are very simple - professionals have money and many of them use GNU/Linux that is why we should provide GNU/Linux versions of our software. My English level is far from good but I believe you will understand my point. If developers have money and there are ~33% developers that use Linux Desktop and many of them use Linux Desktop for Web Development and Mobile Apps that mean you get pay off your effort to provide your software to GNU/Linux. It contains all dependencies and it works on any GNU/Linux distribution.Īs everyone know, the developers of any kind have in the most cases very well paid jobs, and guess what - few screenshots with statistics from Stackoverflow survey 2017 as the attachments. Any of these can be installed on any GNU/Linux distribution but in my opinion it would be better to do this through the web and AppImage or Flatpak. We have three AppStores - GNOME Software, Elementary AppStore and KDE AppStore. But, if Affinity would like to sell Photo and Designer Linux versions through AppStore there is no problem too. I can't see any problems to do the same in case of GNU/Linux version. If you talking about distributing the software you can use cross-distributions utils like AppImage or Flat packages.Īffinity sell their software for Windows through the web service. It will work well on Ubuntu, Mint, KDE Neon, Pop!_OS and any other GNU/Linux distribution. GTK+ is cross-platform library that support light and dark modes. GNU/Linux supports a large number of graphical libraries, in the most cases companies that decided to provide their software for GNU/Linux use GTK+. Wrong - there is only one system and is called GNU/Linux. Not much of an opportunity for expansion there, IMO. How can they guarantee that with all the Linux desktops available? And with Apple shifting/shifted away from OSX and its UX underpinning, Affinity would then have to support Windows, MacOS, and any number of linux desktops. My guess is that Serif/Affinity also values its steam-lined and stylish interface. ![]() Everyone can install Linux on their laptops if they want to and professionals in the most cases want to. I don't see the convergence between the stores that offer laptops with Linux, and companies that offer the software for Linux. ![]() The shiny Mac or PC has umpteen shops willing to supply and fix, for a price. Commercial companies need professional support! How many shops do you see offering Linux machines with back-up? If something goes wrong, you are on your own. That's no good for a commercial graphics product. Compared to a Mac, which has traditionally been a Graphics machine with people willing to pay. The other users use it for servers, specialized requirements and so forth. The typical user seems to do everything possible to use free software, like a badge of honour. It seems that most people use Linux as a way of turning an old PC into a browser. I got quite interested in Linux a few years back, possibly to offer print or DTP services, still use it sometimes (Mint) It is not just numbers that count, it's the type of user. ![]()
