To be fair, windows and macos are the 2 biggest computer operating systems in the world. It makes a lot more sense to focus on building tools for people using the biggest platforms rather than focus on people using something with a user base fragmented across multiple versions of the same OS.
Though I do agree a version for Linux would be nice. Even if we have the mac equivalent of wine, darling, I don’t know enough about it to say whether it’s up to the task or not.
It’s simple math. 97% of the population uses those two operating systems.
There isn’t much more incentive to go after the 3% Linux users. You know the population that loves free and open source software and isn’t exactly known for dropping a bunch of cash on software. Not to mention it’s a fragmented 3%. Even the flatpak, snap, app images of the world that were supposed to make devs lives easier are fragmented across distros.
It’s not like developers get off on reinventing the wheel or something. If somebody has a working solution, I’d rather use that than spend time coming up with code on my own. I’m busy enough as it is.
Fascinating that they develop this tool and then only release Windows and MacOS versions.

No they’re not. Android is Linux.

Android called. They want their representation in your statistics. Android is Linux.
But is it gnu/linux?
Meme aside, that’s a good question… I wonder how much GNU made it into Google’s implementation. Someone here probably knows.
No one’s doing this kind of work on their android phone, so you’re argument is pedantic at best in this context.
If I can patch a ROM on my phone, you can patch your picture just fine. You don’t have to make it with your phone.
Also, you’d be surprised at how excellent some drawing apps are on Android. Particularly Ibis.
Aren’t Linux people usually programmers anyway? Why develop for developers?
Why wouldn’t you?

what does being a developer have anything to do with it? Do you really think we only use things we develop ourselves?
Omg, I can’t believe you actually just said that. 🤣🤣🤣
Do you know what a library is? How about a language?
