I have been a bit cautious because of the merge with Canva, but Affinity v3 works under Linux. There is a non-official project for helping with installation

It is supposed to work with v2 also, but I couldn’t test it because the distro I use is not compatible (yet)

Software outside of gaming usually has native alternatives, so unless you are forced by your employer to use a specific program it is less of an issue (since you are probably also forced to use Windows)

Yes, it was the base tier in the episode (not free). You’ll forgive me, it’s been a some time since I watched it.

It’s not a 1:1 comparison, but you’ll admit that the resemblance is uncanny.

Literally that Black Mirror episode, where the woman has a brain implant to cure a brain trauma, and they put ads in her speech because she is on the free subscription tier.

I also found this project that tries to restore the old start menu and explorer:

Wouldn’t want to upset corporate overlords.

It’s mostly NVIDIA and OpenAI fault, if you want to be honest.
