Hello Callum. Thank you for your response. Crossover is a commercial version of Wine, a compatibility layer software for Linux, MacOS etc. which is used for running Windows software on those platforms. As for support I am perfectly aware that I can't expect any in my case and I am perfectly fine with that. I am just glad that I can finally use Affinity apps on Linux. Live long and prosper 🖖

I've been trying for quite some time to make Affinity apps run on Linux, without much success. As promissing as all the suggestions I've found were, eventually they all ended up as failures. Then a couple of days ago, for whatever reason, I came up with the idea to simply copy the entire Affinity installation folder from my Windows machine to a CrossOver installation on my Linux Mint machine. Lo and behold, to my absolute surprise, both apps were able to not just start, but also properly activate and run without any issues whatsoever. If anyone is interested, both Designer and Photo are version 1.10.6, running on CrossOver for Linux v23.6, which again runs Wine v8.0.1 in the background along with the preinstalled .NET Framework 4.7.2 inside a CrossOver bottle. My question is simple. Am I allowed to run and use Affinity apps like this? Affinity doesn't install on CrossOver at all because of the cursed .NET Framework 3.5 but apparently it works fine when the Windows installations are just copied inside CrossOver. EDIT: I understand that this section is intended for Windows and MacOS but I really didn't know where else to post my question.

So, the actual value and the one that is displayed in the UI can differ purely based on the selected number of decimal places in user interface preferences? Suppose I choose to use two decimal places for millimeters but then encounter a situation where through scaling one of the outlines becomes 0.125mm. The user interface will show 0.13mm even though the actual value is 0.125mm. That simply feels a bit wrong and misleading. It might be worth setting the default values for millimeters and centimeters to at least three? Or add at least some kind of visual cue that warns users that the used and displayed values differ. Just to avoid people asking the same question like me.

For a keyboard only workflow that's fine because both hands are on the keyboard. However when one of the hands is on the mouse reaching key combos like CTRL+N can be a real challenge especially since it involves using a thumb. Also CTRL+N is not something you keep using repeatedly so I actually always preferred to just use the File -> New menu option. Call it preference or something else but that's the more efficient and less error prone method for me. That's why it's so unusual for me to see something else in place of the first option for the File menu.

Is there a way to remove the Personas option from the File menu option? I've seen some videos on YouTube where there is no Personas option in File so I was wondering if those people are potentially just using old versions of Photo or is there some way to hide it? The reason why I am asking is because misclicking Personas instead of New has become incredibly annoying and if possible I'd like to just remove them. If not, wouldn't it have been much better to just put Personas in View menu?
