Canva is seriously considering porting Affinity to Linux - a move that could transform desktop Linux and challenge Adobe.

Canva is seriously considering porting its Affinity creative software suite to Linux, which could be transformative for desktop Linux adoption. Currently, professional designers are locked into Windows and macOS due to Adobe's Creative Cloud dominance. Affinity, recently made free by Canva, is the only full-scale commercial alternative to Adobe. This potential move comes as Linux gaming has matured through Valve's Steam Deck, and dissatisfaction with Windows grows due to intrusive telemetry and AI features. A Linux port would enable designers, photographers, and content creators to run fully Linux-based workflows, potentially triggering wider desktop Linux adoption and challenging Adobe's market position.

Affinity for Linux? Canva’s next big move could reshape the desktop software market

This sounds like a pioneer marketing move.
Hope it happens and others follow.

if they choose to port it to linux, i will be very happy to have this alongside libreoffice! :&gt;

Finally behold it is the year of the linux desktop 😂

Finally! They’ve decided to release their software for Linux, and I hope other companies will do the same.

Oh man I hope so. This would make up for them moving to freemium.
