TotallyNotARobot Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 My experience running v1 as of January 2023 was that I was unable to save files, but basic editing worked. I'm not sure if it was related to Wine, Flatpak or another component. Details are earlier in this thread if someone's interested. todd_r and Snapseed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fix for saving was merged to wine master back just before wine 8.1. So saving would work now.

If you run it with winetricks renderer=vulkan it wouldn't flicker, but its performance isn't what you would get natively with windows. aronkvh, todd_r and Snapseed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElementalWarrior Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 There are basically 3 implementations of graphics rendering. - dxvk -vulkan -opengl If you install dxvk to your wineprefix, it will overtake the latter two. If you set winetricks renderer=vulkan or renderer=gl without dxvk. You will use vulkan or opengl respectively. I also run an AMD processor/gpu. So my experience may be different than yours.

mkulin11 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Can we start some sort of petition to get a .deb and .rpm installer for linux users? The .yml config file has over 2k downloads at this point. The linux user base is in need of graphics software that is not GIMP or Inkscape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. A petition to whom? If you mean to Serif, they have been quite clear that neither V1 nor V2 is supported on Linux, and they do not have any plans at this time to provide such support. That would also mean, I think, that they would not be interested in trying to package it for Linux users.

If you volunteer to maintaining such installer, you can prepare RPM or DEB installer for yourself So as reported already, initial dxcore patch was added to Wine I_DONT_KNOW_WHICH. Wine 8.16 i guess. So I've tested functionality of unpatched vanilla Wine on Fedora: It WORKS out-of-box! For Affinity ver. 1 no more compilation needed. Of course so long as dependencies are satisfied: binary drivers for your GPU installed and properly used .NET Framework 4.8 corefonts for basic functionality and I strongly recommend using Vulkan driver as default Wine D3D driver is still experiencing UI flickering Dependencies could be installed using winetricks or of course manually (if you know how). Installation might still be little tricky as Serif was able to produce installer not compatible with dotnet48 (it crashes) so I recommend Mono package from your repository prepared at least for installation. After installation Mono can be removed. Tested just Affinity Photo 1 as I do not own license for version 1 and have only installer for Photo by my hand. Guess there shouldn't be any issue running any Affinity application from version 1 Suite. Any distribution of your choice. For binary package on Fedora I recommend just watching koji. Package should be prepared very soon, literally any minute. On any other distribution simply wait, until patched version will bubble up to mainstream repository. Technically next Fedora Design Suite might be prepared to allow running Affinity Suite (ver. 1) but I'm not very much fan of GNOME 3 Desktop Environment so if you have any other recommendation, I'm one big ear. aronkvh, Wanesty and Snapseed 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyNotARobot Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Did you try saving your file? I know a patch was submitted for it, but a few weeks ago I still couldn't on some version of Wine GE Proton 8 (I think 8.7 or 8.14). Maybe I just need to run the latest development build for it, not sure. Since I'm on Ubuntu I currently use Bottles to install Wine versions, and the most recent version I can use is Wine GE Proton 8.14. It doesn't look like they support vanilla Wine.
