I've been a casual observor of Linux for quite a few years but it's problem for me has always been that it doesn't have any pro level publishing and photography software. Well there is some good software in Inkscape, Gimp or Darktable but they always seem to have an important feature missing or a clunky workflow. With that in mind, great strides have been taken the last few years by devs out there to get the Affinity suite working on Linux using a Windows compatibility layer.
