If affinity would just get their act together and release their suite for linux we could all get over adobe real quick.

  Has Adobe released their suite for Linux?

    That's not the point. Industries such as VFX and game studios often either run dual-boot systems or provide two workstations per artist. If there is a usable equivalent for Linux, they will adopt it because the rest of their tooling runs on Linux anyways. Currently, they have no incentive to switch.

      Ah, I see what you're saying. It's not that Linux users can't switch off an existing Adobe setup to Affinity, as that having a native Affinity build on Linux would enable people to switch off Adobe.

      I have never heard of any VFX artist running linux. Is that really true?

          I meant more are most VFX artists actually using Linux like the commenter claims. There are DAWs for linux too but everyone is using mac or windows in music.
