@emko, sadly I’m not running Linux at the moment. I was really eager to try this out T-T But hopefully someone experimented like @Snapseed or @1stn00b will be able to do so

I don’t know if you’ve seen his, but Windows MSI installers for V2 have been released!

To be honest, I was expecting the exact same thing. I was really surprised to see we didn’t get any kind of special deal for being long-time customers

@1stn00b is that something the Serif team is already working on? 😮

For the sake of this thread and what we’re all doing here, I need to ask you to stop “explaining” yourself. You were rude, so let’s just apologize and continue with the matter at hand

Come on, mate! You’ve been of great help so far, this kind of comments is completely unnecessary. You’re spitting on the face of the people who’s giving us a hand with all this WINE stuff

Thanks a lot for putting so much effort on trying to help me out, mate After trying different things, I finally got it to work! The issue was with the Nvidia drivers I was running on. The X.Org Nouveau ones were causing the issue. Once I switched to the proprietary ones Designer as well as Photo started working, both on Intel Integrated Graphics as well as on my Nvidia GTX 1060. I experienced the sames glitches that everyone’s mentioned so far, but at least both apps are running now Btw, my Nvidia card is also being recognized by Affinity’s apps:

Sadly that made no difference I even tried the new recipe you uploaded today, but the result was the same. The installations run smoothly, but nothing at all happens when I run the apps. I’m not sure if it could be because my laptop has an Nvidia graphics card or maybe because my system is running on Wayland.

@1stn00b first of all, thank you very much for taking the time to create that little guide And now to the good stuff, I follow every step and the installation ran smoothly, but once I hit the play button for the installed Affinity Photo, nothing happened at all Which version of the installer did you use? 1.10.5 didn’t do it for me.

Too bad that would scare you off. Remember this is not Photoshop, we’re talking about Affinity tools, which are way more considerate on your resources. And if you’re right and Gnome Boxes does not allow you to pass-through a GPU, then that means it was using my integrated graphics card, which worked perfectly fine in my case

Last week I finally got completely fed up with Windows, mainly because once again they pushed updates down my throat that led to another infamous blue screen. So during the weekend I took the time to give Linux (Pop!_OS specifically) another chance without even looking back. The thing was that yesterday I was in need of access to Affinity’s tools, and so I decided to try the VM approach once again. This time I went with Boxes, which made the process incredibly easy (specially because of the express install it offers). I only needed to give the VM 8 GB of RAM (it probably would’ve worked with only 4) and I was good to go. I’m pretty new to Linux and VMs, so I’m not sure if Boxes too care of the graphic card side of the matter to make use of my Nvidia card, or if it simply stuck to the integrated one, but Designer as well as Photo worked perfectly fine without any issues whatsoever and quite fluently too. I was honestly very impressed

Bye, Alex!

If someone after 75 pages in this thread still doesn’t get that we’re trying to find a way to get Affinity products into Linux, well... THAT’S really sad. If you’ve got nothing constructive to contribute with, then I would suggest that you leave this thread and go talk privately with LondonRascal. Thank you! 😀

I’ll definitely watch it later then, and thanks a lot for that! It was very clever move to attempt Having such a supportive company having interest in Affinity’s products could be the way

There was a moment in time when Blender didn’t have that kind of sponsors either, but they’ve proved it is possible to achieve that. I don’t really understand what you meant by Serif not selling super expensive hardware and/or software. Blender is free, mate. Why did you jump to other companies when the comparison started with Blender?

Go Pablo! 🥳 Did he say that on one of the latest streams?

In case you wanna take a look: Check who was mainly involved during the last pages before it got closed, and also the reason that Patrick Connor gave on why he decided to close it. That’s what this “person” is aiming for once again. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😘

The reason why people THINK he’s trolling is because HE IS trolling. As I mentioned, another thread with the same topic got closed because of his stupid attitude. He’s clearly not trying to do any kind of constructive criticism here, so I beg you to simply ignore him. He’s not trying to help anybody here, only his ego.

Your attempts at looking smart are so cute 😂

Don’t you have anything better to do with your time other than trolling around this forum, LondonRascal? The other thread related to this same topic got closed solely because of you. Does this give you some kind of mental reward, you freaking sociopath? Since he will probably continue on his idiotic quest, I ask you guys to stop enabling him. Just ignore his wannabe comments. As easy as that. Thank you 😘

Are you guys that naive that you keep playing this toxic person's game? JEEZ!

Trying to justify your actions isn't really helping you either. Just like you, I also guide my actions by doing what I feel is right, that's the reason why I've also reported you. Since trying to talk some sense into you didn't work and only triggered a cascade of excuses, I chose to go that route. I'm done here. Have a good day!

Go do justice in your own personal space. You say you care about the topic and the discussion at hand, your actions say otherwise.

For sure it might be fun for some people, but how about the rest? How about finding 83 new notifications on your email about a thread you're really interested about to later find out that it was nothing but a children's quarrel?

Did that already before your comment 😜
