Plus an additional 25% off if you're upgrading from v1, which I did today.

  Thanks for the tip! Already an Affinity user, but had missed the whole version 2.

Any experience running it on Linux? The WineHQ AppDB [1] table doesn't look great, but [2] offers some hope.

  No, I haven't tried to run Affinity apps on Linux. I do use Linux (desktop) quite a lot, but I haven't found anything quite like Affinity Designer for Linux, i.e. GPU-accelerated vector graphics rendering. For simple projects, I often use BoxySVG (which is free on Linux). For photo / raster graphics editing, I find that Krita meets all my needs on Linux.

    > BoxySVG Both a PWA and desktop app. Cool! https://boxy-svg.com/ https://boxy-svg.com/
