I saw in your guide it is necessary to have "C:/windows/system32/WinMetadata". Can you share this folder? Maybe zipped?

Thanks for clarifying. I actually found the exe downloads though and got it working. But, as of now, at least on my system, the installation in really unstable.

Yeah, I got that figured out later on Forums and could even install Photo V2, plus I got Photo V1 installed through Bottles and Now I'm making tests eand comparing both, to see which one performs the best. Thank you for the reply!!!

First of all, thank you for all your effort to make it work. That said, I've been following your guide but I don't really have a .exe Affinty Photo file. The only thing I have is .msi. Would it still work? Also, Bottle's version of Photo V1 works surprisingly well, it even recognizes my AMD GPU, although I can't really use hardware acceleration due the Windows 10 version being older than the recommended. This is a screenshot of Photo V1 on Bottles

Is there a way to update bottle's win version to the latest windows 10?

Anyone got any kind of luck yet?

Sure, but that wouldn't be "targeted" at Chromebooks, then. Also, most Chromebooks wouldn't be able to handle AP. Hardware limitation is real. I mean, even the new so called "Gaming Chromebooks" are meant for cloud gaming. I don't really see a reason for anyone to invest in creating a software like AP or PS aimed at these devices.

I wouldn't, the hardware would be an issue. Sure, there are great Chromebooks but the majority isn't geared towards performance, but optimisation instead. But let's say they'd work on a version for Chromebooks, wouldn't it just be an Android version instead?

Blender is backed up by big companies, also, GIMP is a completely different story, it already has great tools and functionality but a really bad ui/ux.

Sure, that's what most of us here are looking for, a good paid software to go to Linux so that we can get productive

There's also content creators, be it in social media, bloggers, vloggers, writers, etc. Almost everyone today needs a vector or raster software in some capacity. If given the option, I'd rather have it than don't. TBH, and this is a completely baseless argument, I would guess that even if they'd port only the 1.10 version to Linux it'd sell, as we don't really have anything to go against it. And please, don't even joke about Photopea/ GIMP/ Inkscape/ Scribus.

Oh yeah, Linux-based OSs are in the top when it comes to being used by developers, mostly for personal use but also in corporate

Yeah, that's mostly for non-pro, although some people mentioned other problems too in a FB group for Resolve I was in (that was probably in version 15 or 16 though), but still. But even now, there's still some problems that show up, like with AMD graphic cards for example.

It is not about being a missed market, going Linux just doesn't pay off, even though we keep saying that there's a lot of people using Linux, it can't even compare to MAC, for example. On the other side, developing for Linux brings a lot of benefit, like stability and performance, but with some caveats, like Davinci Resolve not being able to use some codes, the most important ones tbh. But Resolve is another matter, as the company doesn't use it as a main source of income and more like an add-on for their gear!

That's probably your PC though. Usually installing latest Visual C++ packages solve those kind of errors. You could try downloading and instilling x86 and x64 versions from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
