Adobe's decision to eliminate perpetual licensing for its Elements software has stirred controversy among consumers

there is only one or two features i miss in the affinity suite; but been working with it exclusively for the past 3 months (after owning it for years), and i'm never looking back.

although their refusal to support linux and the linux work-arounds being incredibly spotty has made me consider just giving up and moving onto gimp etc. i have tried to replace photoshop with gimp in the past but it's just too inconvenient to do "the same things" so i always give up half way through the learning process.

i really wish affinity would try to at least offer a hand to the linux community; it's somewhat upsetting that they have rejected any and all linux efforts.
