do you think it will help if the companies making those 3 apps actually extend linux support?

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Absolutely. I am done with Windows. The software is from Serif, the British company behind the Affinity platform, and they have a big announcement at the end of the month. Fingers crossed it is multiplatform support.

Don't hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

You can run Affinity on Linux through a custom wine build. https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux

Do you think this software might work with Bottles or similar Windows emulating platforms? Could be worth a shot to be rid of Windows entirely.

Wine and bottles has been mentioned. Let me also throw Winboat at you... winboat.app
