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

I will simplify :
Windows is Microsoft OS
MacOS is Apple OS
Linux is my OS

Why do you use Ubuntu in a virtual machine ? Install Affinity in the host OS not the virtualized one.

We even have videos there  :
 

Development version of GIMP got CMYK , GTK 3 and many other things : https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/08/27/gimp-2-99-12-released/ almost ready for 3.0 release. And it's available on Flathub beta repository :

Well that user friendliness wording backfired, when in fact i wanted to say that the out-of-box interface of Gimp is  FUGLY but not use so harsh words ; >

At least on Gnome we have adw-gtk3  theme that does wonders for older apps. Combining that with Gradiance tool and u get the idea  : >
 
 

Seems they will give us MSI installers :
 

They are complementary software apps that you could have used before without paying a penny, since u mentioned non-destructive raw edits as a new thing.
People should check out Inskape for vector editing, works on Windows and Mac also ; >
 
 

RAW Therapee & Darktable do non-destructive raw edits and much more and give you creative freedom on all PC platforms for free : >

My 2 cent conclusion is the majority of Windows users that combat Linux never use it or they did it during the 2005-2010 Ubuntu trend for short period of time to be cool and that's their basic knowledge.
Also a big deterrent to Linux desktop adoption was and still is Novideo that can't or won't provide quality drivers that don't brick your whole system.

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 😆
