A friend of mine used this as motivation for switching to a used MacBook Air M1 (today he’d probably buy a Neo) - and started using Pages to write his papers s. He watched a bunch of YouTube videos and asked a lot of questions in Google every time he got stuck. A week later he’s a happy camper.
Since Canva bought Affinity, I’m uncertain of the future. Maybe Canva will stay true to their word, but it seems questionable based on every other company that’s made similar claims.
I actually forgot this happened until I saw Affinity Publisher was discontinued. This reminds me I need to convert my Affinity docs and migrate as well.
LibreOffice Draw is quite capable. Though for some better formatting (linked text boxes) you might have to use Writer, which is still good abut a bit more klunky as you are fighting the formatting of the writer document layer if you want varied text boxes....

What about using a supported version of Publisher (standalone) on Windows in a VM?
Inkscape
Canva?
