Putting the Affinity graphics suite on Linux
Final Point
The Adobe Suite is very popular and should probably be considered the industry standard in its niche. Adobe ignored Linux for a long time, and its applications are not Linux-friendly. Affinity Suite is a good alternative in this situation. Affinity is currently priced at $69.99 per application or $169.99 for a universal license that includes all three applications. This is a one-time payment: You don't need to pay a subscription fee. The ability to do graphics work on Linux with minimal issues is also appealing. If open source applications like Gimp, Krita, and Inkscape [14] work well for your needs, that's great. If not, Affinity Suite is definitely worth trying.
