Android tablet getting pretty good. And there is no combination in it if you add the affinity suite. There is no full creative apps in Android it would be amazing if we could have apps like the affinity suite. 
Thanks and I hope y'all think about it

Very good that there are progress with Wine! Will be possible to pack Affinity apps into something like winepak or snap package for easy install?

(on Fedora 30, Affinity 1.6.5.135)
 
Information
I tried to run Affinity previously, but only got to the point of "VK_CHILD_WINDOW_RENDERING" not being implemented and after not using Affinity Photo for a long time to stay with Linux I got the following message on Discord:

So I had to try it out and what can I say? It works flawlessly!
 
Installation
Download Affinity 1.6.5 from: "https://store.serif.com/de/update/windows/photo/1/"
The following commands are required to install and use Affinity Photo (Run EVERYTHING in the same terminal instance).
Open a terminal in the same folder, you downloaded Affinity into!
# Download and extract the correct wine version curl -L https://lutris.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/runners/wine/wine-lutris-vkchildwindow-4.12.1-x86_64.tar.xz > wine-lutris-vkchildwindow-4.12.1-x86_64.tar.xz tar xf wine-lutris-vkchildwindow-4.12.1-x86_64.tar.xz # Set the path to wine for winetricks to work correctly export WINE="$PWD/lutris-vkchildwindow-4.12.1-x86_64/bin/wine" # Remove the old wine prefix rm -rf ~/.wine alias wine=$WINE wine wineboot -i When this window opens, click on "Cancel"

# Downloading the newest version of winetricks curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks > winetricks chmod +x winetricks Now that everything is downloaded, and a new prefix was created, you have to install some dependencies.
Follow the instructions in the setups and click on "Reboot Now". You can ignore warnings by the setups.
