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.
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
The only blocker to me is it doesn’t have native Linux support
Important point, and they also said they didn’t plan on supporting Linux.
They’re changing things up after being bought up, but I’m not sure if Linux is a priority for them yet
This means it runs with WINE? Or something similar?
WineDB says all their apps are “Garbage” status - eg does not run.
So no Linux then, unless running a virtualized Windows.

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