As a designer that works between macOS and Linux, this is great news. I'd install Mint on the solidly-built hardware of older intel macs (like the 2019 MBP) to run Affinity and breathe new life into them.

Oh yeah…here’s the link to the South African article: techcentral.co.za/affinity-for...

3D users might also want to grab a copy of Vue if they didn't already...

VUE, the 3D landscape generation software, was previously used to generate landscapes in hollywood movies. Has high computing requirements.

Vue is STILL here: www.bentley.com/software/e-o...

As always, hope this helps.

Everybody go and grab a copy of Modo and get busy!

When Modo was discontinued last year, it was made free to download with a 10-year license BUT they also said they would keep Modo & the license file available for download for 1 year. That date is coming fast.
