Affinity was the closest Photoshop competitor that I could find that

most of the issues happen with older computers (not enough ram or fast
enough CPU, etc).


Is there any way to switch over to WARP from GPU acceleration ?


Yes, in Windows, one can switch to WARP as well, which I did some weeks
ago. Since doing so, I haven't seen the black screening issue, but I
still have occasional random crashes or slowing/ freezing of the program
after long term usage. Much of the time, the recovery file created
restores most or all of the work before the crash. I can work this way
until maybe getting a better system. Right now, I just can't afford it.

Thanks for the info link on WARP as I wasn't sure what it was.
