You have an Imac 2010/2011. Which means old machine. Pixelmator Pro is only usable on Mac which support Metal 2. Makes futher development quicker... which is in my eyes a good thing... I have an Macbook pro 2016 (it supports it) and my Macbook air 2011 (does not).

ok. Affinity Photo runs on it, have been using Pixelmator for several years, but not worth buying a new computer to continue. Will keep using old Pixelmator if needed, thanks!
