Hello.
Just wanted to voice my support for a Linux-compatible SketchBook.
The idea of Linux-as-a-desktop is growing in popularity rapidly. Open source organizations are receiving millions of dollars in donations to help create and expand their open-source operating systems for creatives, developers, and regular users alike.
However, you aren't required to produce open-source software to get kudos by other Linux users. Popular apps such as CrossOver, Skype, Discord, and Slack are all proprietary software that are greatly appreciated.
Benefits of offering a Linux version:
- Gives you the opportunity to become the #1 Linux art tool as their are only a handful of viable competitors/alternatives currently.
- Linux is arguably the most developer-friendly system to develop for. There are many packaging options, dependencies are easy to install, and their are various sandboxed packaging options - Flatpak and Snap - that allow you to easily support every Linux distribution.
- If you decide to open-source any components of SketchBook, there are tons of talented Linux developers from around the world that could help you out.
