They didn’t say they never will. They don’t have plans for it, but they won’t rule it out. (Unless the FAQ is outdated and they said they never will somewhere else)
We won’t rule out making a Linux version of Affinity in the future if the right Linux distro comes along with a reliable deployment platform that will allow us to recoup our development cost for the Linux version.
I guess they could use Flatpaks here if they don’t want to deal with packaging it for every distro.
Its moot because Affinity have already said they will not, not ever.

But surely this petition with nearly 400 signatures will convince them there’s a business case for supporting Linux!
