For context, I want to teach myself Graphics Design as I had dropped out of college copule years ago for personal reason but still want to learn it.

I have heard from few people online that they have got Affinity running with Bottles or Wine. I really want to use less of Windows whereas possible but I’m unsure how well it performs on Linux and if there are a better alternative from Affinity and Adobe in general.

    I currently run it in a Windows 10 VM using virt-manager and the virtio drivers from RedHat to enable OpenGL acceleration on a Windows guest. It is a decent experience. Would probably be much better if I passed a USB pointer directly into the VM instead of relying on virtualization.

    Haven’t tried it in WINE, and probably will never bother until the Affinity team take it seriously.
