Look, if a guy at the Verge can use Linux then that means almost anyone can.
Random blokes at The Verge do not have the same use cases as anyone else. "Works for me" is never the same thing as "works for you". Linux doesn't even have a good vector graphics editor. (No, Inkscape is not good.)
Affinity can be installed on Linux via WINE just fine. There's even a repo for it. Fusion360, of all things, also works the same way. WINE is not just for gaming
Or just use an OS that natively supports Affinity...
