We are currently seeing a huge increase in people considering to install Linux because of the actions of both Microsoft and the autocratic U.S. government. Among these people are many who rely on creative software by Adobe or other companies, for which there is no comparable alternative with Linux support. If we can convince Affinity to provide Linux support for their programs (Designer, Photo, Publisher), a lot more people will likely ditch Windows, and a lot of people who are already using Linux will get easy access to powerful (one-time payment) creative software.

I used to use Adobe applications and have found decent alternatives for Photoshop (GIMP), Illustrator (Inkscape), and Premiere Pro (KdenLive) that run on Ubuntu.
Among those, Kdenlive probably measures up the worst to its Adobe counterpart. I am happy with it as an NLE, but I can’t deny that Premiere Pro is quite a bit more useable and powerful. The new interfaces do take some getting used to, but they are all excellent tools in their own rights.
I also like Darktable for photo editing and used Audacity over Adobe Audition even when I had an Adobe sub.
