Danel Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 HI, I have a 10-year old PC running Win 7 with Affinity-Photo installed. Following Mickey's divorce with me, I want to migrate to Linux Mint 19.3. Mint is now installed on a new PC but Affinity doesn't work on Linux (too bad!). Then I installed Wine 4 (soon 5) which will allow me to use my Windows softwares under Linux. How can I install Affinity on Mint, with the possibility to go back to Win 7 if the result is not conclusive? (speed and functions) What about the installation rights?

firstdefence Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 There is an ongoing attempt to get Affinity Photo to run with wine but as of yet it's not been successful. A better option would be to use VMware like VirtualBox which you can install on Linux Mint and then install a windows release and then install Affinity Photo on to the virtual windows.. https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/linux-mint-how-tos/install-virtualbox-4-3-on-linux-mint-17.html Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Danel Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thank you very much; I didn't know and discovered this long and very interesting thread. Of course, I'll be willing to pay my share to have an affinity on Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 You're welcome. There was also this enthusiastic post which had a very optimistic title but ended up deflating quickly...
