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.

    The Affinity suite is notoriously difficult to get working properly in WINE and/or Proton

      I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I’m talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.

        It was a good assumption. These days most games will work flawlessly in WINE/Proton, but the same can’t be said for other Windows software, sadly.

          This is exactly why it took me so long to nuke my dual boot windows drive. One program, Fruity Loops, I couldn’t ever get to run well enough to be usable in an unfrustrating manner. Just recently got it chugging away in bottles, there’s a community made bottle for it, but I found that doesn’t actually work. At least not for me. Took 3 weeks of tweaking things to get it going, but I got there in the end.
