Canva is seriously considering porting Affinity to Linux - a move that could transform desktop Linux and challenge Adobe.

There is a "photoshop UI" GIMP plugin that you could use if you prefer the layout/have muscle memory, but admittedly that's not a perfect solution. It is cheaper tho.

Yeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

Also, at least for something like this feels like hack more than anything. Maybe its not, i did not look inside the code. But just from outside I would assume that would break with every GIMP release and even if not it would never feel "right".

If you mean PhotoGimp, it's just a config file thst rebinds keybinds and sets up UI layout, like location of tools and windows, to be similar to photoshop.
