I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.
Comment on Affinity’s Adobe-rivaling creative suite is now free for six months

Are they actually .Net Framework apps or they just use it for some parts? If they are, they could transition to .Net which is cross platform. With some work, of course.

The Affinity Suite started out as macOS-only apps which later got ported to Windows so I would be very surprised to hear they had any substantial portion written in .net

Yeah, I even wonder why they need it at all.

WineDB says all their apps are “Garbage” status - eg does not run.

So no Linux then, unless running a virtualized Windows.

I run it in a VM. Definitely not ideal, but affinity is so good, I compromise
