Ask HN: Is it the right time for the linux killer graphics app?

3 points by fimdomeio 9y ago ↗ HN

Currently you'll see in hn at the rhythm of once or twice a day a post about people you switched/are switching from macs to linux. To me, and I'm the only thing really preventing me from switching to linux is not having anything comparable to Sketch/illustrator/Affinity Designer. Do many of you feel the same or do you see any other show stoppers?

Had Adobe been working on some sort of "Creative Workstation" product for Linux / Wayland, they would now be excellently positioned to pick up disillusioned users.

Krita is an alternative to Sketch. Inkscape is an alternative to Illustrator. Whether it's an alternative to Affinity Designer, I don't know. I never used the latter.
