It really would be great if somebody could create a Snap for Affinity tools. @toluschr already did some great work by documenting the manual steps (see also this post at linuxcompatible.org — for some there's this open Wine issue for people using proprietary Nvidia drivers, though). It also seems that it worked for others, too (i.e. here for @Dylan_LHDP) Furthermore the Snap team created a template for creating Snaps for Wine applications. So with a Snap package there's no need to do any manual steps, except installing the package. Also people won't end up with various wine/winetricks/dll issues, since every Snap can bring its own encapsulated set of dependencies. Other Windows applications like PhotoScape, foobar2000, Pixum, SQLyog, Adobe Acrobat, Command & Conquer, Track Mania Nations Forever or GOG Galaxy can already be installed with an easy command: snap install package-page So maybe someone wants to give it a go? It's basically declarations within a structured YAML file. Apart from taking Sommelier as a base, it might be useful to have a look at some examples on GitHub. Otherwise there might be someone over at the snapcraft forum who might help (there's also a request over there). PS: another advantage of a Snap package is the possibility to give or take permissions. Don't want to give access to the whole home directory? No problem! App shouldn't have access to the internet? Remove this permission with a simple snap disconnect $SNAP_NAME:network (or use the Snap GUI for that). Thus having a Snap package might be especially interesting in cases where people would like to run proprietary applications that can't fully trusted (but also for other apps of course).
