[Let's crowdfund Affinity designer and photo for linux!]

I agree native window and Wine will always have a layer for complexity .because of this complexity it sometimes causes a performance or bug issue. The proton project looks very promising and works well so far.

example of proton performance seems good

Also having Affinity on Linux would expand the market and respect from the Linux community.  as I mentioned before maybe having a snap package for Ubuntu base system would be a better approach since this distro is well known with ordinary and beginner users. Ubuntu also is being used by an enterprise company for their workstation. Short term I understand that Seif doesn't have it on Linux, but it would be very beneficial for them, in the long run, to have it cross-platform, so users can shift when needed when the market or situation changes. All artist tools should be modulated, in my opinion, but I can be wrong.

One final thought, maybe a valuable solution is to port it on Steam?

[Affinity products for Linux]

Hey everyone 

I was wondering, I  believe it would be possible to have an affinity on Linux. there is something called snap packages which a Universal App for Linux and all major distros. I think it would be a great benefit for Affinity products. any thoughts? I know this was discussed before but now with this Universal packages, it is possible now to build once and run on all Linux distro.
