Hi there. I'm at the point here, along with an increasing number of people, where I have swapped almost entirely to Linux for development work and to escape excessive data-mining by companies like Microsoft, along with ensuring my systems are secure and to stop the surprise "updates" that can alter system performance overnight. I have purchased licenses for Affinity products for both Mac and Windows platforms. While native Linux versions of Affinity products would be ideal, I could live inside Designer and Photo as is, either with WINE or Proton, on Linux. It presently seems like the major impediment to installing the program is the installer itself. I'm sure there are other issues one might encounter when trying to run the software, but that initial hurdle prevents me from seeing what those other issues may be. Has Serif looked at www.protondb.com and the Proton API? This seems to have a lot of support for bringing Windows applications over and running nearly better or as well as native applications. I am presently running most of my Steam Windows library off of it, with about 85-90% success. Serif could affordably increase its development footprint in the Linux space by simply taking advantage of existing APIs like Proton. Serif could use this as a marketing and PR move as well as an additional means to ensure its own survivability in a market where large companies are increasingly trying to wreck smaller ones. Just my 2c. Love the software, keep it up guys. :)
