Wanesty, thank you for pointing me to this thread. I have a programmer friend who is introducing me to linux and is willing to low cost donate me a dedicated computer. So I could provide community service to Serif for getting Affinity a native install on linux using the beta program as an entry way for them. After all this hard work you and others have done to get this far. If I ask nicely, my programmer friend may donate the requisite Windows file itself as long as I keep it for personal use.
Although, I won't have the donated computer until sometime early November due to my friend being quite busy this week and next.
