How is this sustainable for a for-profit entity? How do they pay the bills/developers?

Presumably though Canva subscriptions?

Shame it's only Mac/Windows compatible. I'd kill for a Linux build.

There's a community of folks maintaining some WINE tweaks to make it work! Thankfully, it's mostly just config options so nothing additional to install/run beyond WINE. I tend to use the V2 suite and on a mac, but I've got Affinity V3 installed on my ubuntu dev machine and had no issues with it when I've needed it.

Awesome. Have starred the repo and will have a look through it later tonight when I'm done with work.

Maybe use WINE or similar to run the Windows build?

True, that's an option, but a native build would be optimal
