I thought Affinity apps is one of those that works great with Proton/Wine.

I was really hoping for Linux support some day. Now, I am totally fine sticking with GIMP.

It didn’t work me at all.

not sure what method you tried, but I was able to get V2 running via Lutris using the guide in this repo

Relies on a patched variant of Wine, so hardly “works great with Proton/Wine”. I tried V3 with regular Proton and the installer didn’t even run.

I hope with easy access to Affinity V3, someone in the FOSS world will now reverse engineer the Affinity file format. The only 3rd party solution for Affinity files I’m aware of is Photopea but that may just as well be a version of Affinity Photo running in some VM on the server to convert the files to PSD to then edit the files from there.

Krita is also another good alternative, imo.

Isn’t Krita more focused on digital painting than photo editing? I always end up going back to the GIMP because of that even though I use KDE.

Yep. It’s 100% digital painting. All photo manipulation features are either minimal implementation or simply does not exist.
All the developement roadmap are often times trying to replicate Clip Studio Paint as it becomes the most used digital painting software for newer generation. Like comic/manga layout, integrated 3D pose, etc.

That’s what I thought. People keep saying Krita is a great alternative to GIMP, Photoshop, and Affinity Photo, but photo editing is not its focus at all.
