The Affinity Suite is so worth it. Pay a single time and get all the apps on all major OSes instead of the stupid subscription bullshit Adobe tries to lock you into.

    No Linux support though, which is a bummer these days.

    I mean, windows and Mac. So yes, all major OSes. The whole "year of Linux" has been a nice meme... For a few decades now.

    Also udemy has some fantastic courses to learn the whole suite, each can be purchased for lifetime access for $10-15 USD. The instructors I bought from are still actively updating their courses and I get all the new stuff, even though I bought when AD was still on v1.3.

    If you're looking to learn it's a really affordable way to do it.

    Here's the main one I used to get started.

    I've started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven't done yet.

    Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey's course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.
