There is nothing close to Photoshop (or the Affinity suite) that runs natively on Linux. Despite how niche that market is, one could make big bank if they could magically create a valid alternative out of thin air. I’d pay hundreds of dollars for it myself. I don’t even care about PSD compatibility.

(Nope, Krita and GIMP are not good enough)

Okay, well there's a huge difference between Photoshop and Affinity, because Affinity includes an Illustrator and InDesign alternative as well.

What specifically do you need to do in Photoshop? Photo editing? Design? Illustration? It sounds like you have a concrete need if you're willing to part with hundreds of dollars. I've developed a number of graphics apps over the years, so my interest is not academic.
