Well i just booted into W10 and got this : So yeah great V2 indeed : > Isn't the point of msix pakage format to provide all necesary dependencies like i have with Flatpak ? What a shitshow

And like i said before : They fixed us by packaging the new V2 Affinity software as MSIX crapware

Well i bought Photo & Designer in 2016. It's about time they put out a payed upgrade 😆

I'm waiting to see how the version 2.0 of Affinity Software performs.

I don't understand why you try to complicate things. Do you have all software available in Microsoft Landfill ? Nope : >

You don't need to get used to anything : Open the Software Manager of your distribution and install the software you want : 1 click to install - 1 click to uninstall - everything gets updated system wide no need for you to individually update the software. It's like Microsoft Landfill aka Store in W10 & eWaste 11 but ten folds better : > And as with everything in Linux the same thing can be done from terminal : like installing or not Microsoft GarbEdge : >

Anyone can package it as a Flatpak even now so i don't see what's the problem. Their software still runs in trial mode if no key is provided so i don't see what's the big fuss. So unless they specifically introduce supplementary blocks to stop us from using the software under Wine it doesn't really matter.

They can always chose a stable Wine release, make their Windows software run with that and bundle everything in a Flatpak package. Adobe products work with Wine because their software doesn't relay heavily or exclusively on the tooling Mac or Windows provides like for example DirectX Effects API that DXVK doesn't implement since is not benefiting games so we have to wait on Wine implementation that has a slower development cycle then other games related projects. One of the problems i saw in this topic is the usage of clone accounts to troll Linux like this 2 : It's a common practice i saw on other Linux discussions on other platforms , their final goal being actually to close the topics @jaizon: U can always edit your original post instead of writing a river of consecutively comments, unless the purpose is to rapidly change the pages so the interesting topic parts gets buried away. I've seen it all so i always presume the worst 😆

For problems you should check here : We even have videos there :

My so called "insult" was a direct response to the comment above it.

I fail to understand how my "if then" comment insulted anybody, but so be it, i can get lost as i was instructed and get my relevant Affinity Linux/Android news from here : https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/careers/

Their public filing history : https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02117968/filing-history doesn't show their about to go bankrupt, or struggling so i find it funny they can't afford better developers if the one they have are unfit to develop on other platforms like Android or Linux : > They have exactly 3 products that generate their income so their growth will come from increasing platform diversity, launching new products and off course a payed upgrade to version 2.0.

Unless that virtual machine is set-up with GPU passtrough, it's just a waste of resources compared to running the windows only software thru Bottles/Wine. Also you get lower performances adding a layer of virtualization in between. Also Wine doesn't emulate anything - it translate Windows API calls to Linux API calls

Running with terminal shows they use MoveFileTransactedW that Microsoft say will be deprecated and advises to not be used :

Check if u have Dedicated Sandbox enabled in Preferences aka sandbox in sandbox ; > - from my experience it disable completely access to your Home folder even if that is accessible to the main Bottles Flatpak Sandbox

Wonder what that 6% Unknown is, but anyway i don't see Affinity products on Android either so guess that is also "commercially unviable" market for Serif.

This is useless discussion for hunting witches - the only one to blame for no Linux support is actually Serif not others. In the same note Codeweavers that brag themselves with running Windows apps for just $49 didn't even managed to make the Affinity products install : https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/affinity-photo

You've got it upside down :> Wine is for applications DXVK,VK3D, Proton are extending it for games and have more developing power since are backed by Valve and now with Steam Deck they will get even more love :> But don't worry we already have the programs fully running so we just have to wait for the missing pieces to be added :>

DXVK is used to translate DirectX 9, 10, 11 API calls to Vulkan , VKD3D is used for DirectX 12. Even if u activate both in Bottles only DXVK will be used. Also both are heavily optimized for Windows games.

Well i would pay again for a native version - off course if it's available as a Flatpak package so it includes every dependency - practically eliminating the usual problems u get when not everybody is running same distro or have same libraries - and it also simplify their development and bug fixing 😆

Remove the prime-run command argument and add --no-hw-ui in it's place

Does Blender or 3D games work on your system ?

Did u know you can use the edit button ? From the pictures you posted seems you managed to install it, but its not rendering correctly. Is this in Wayland or X11 ?
