Please consider Linux as a viable platform - Microsoft is bleeding users to Linux because of their choices.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!  Both are POSIX Operating systems, but Linux has a VERY different architecture to UNIX.  Other than the POSIX they have nothing in common.  

 

You must be more ancient than me. You are right about the architecture but Linux certainly was the successor to Unix and built upon Unix as did HPUX and Sunos.

Yes I have been around a long time, retired 18 months ago. Linux is not a successor to UNIX. It most certainly is not built on UNIX.   HPUX and  Sunos (which I have used) are UNIX variants.  Linux has not connection to UNIX whatsoever other than a POSIX API

Are you running it in Wine currently?

Nope, trying to run the installer I'll never see it start. (no window to let me install). I do got a seperate drive with windows for this sort of things and some gaming that doesn't play nice on linux...

also pulled the files from my windows drive and tried to run them in the linux os, and no dice either...

mind you I've had Photoshop CC (older one) installed and useable under this distro's Wine setup, and I've used it in some other smaller apps, but no go with affinity's process.

Just came across this. I have no idea how good it is.

Even thou it is interesting as a whole different Wine/Proton alternative when you have a windows system laying around, it has in its initial setup an issue with GPU Passthrough.
Not good when you want to make usage of OpenCL compute acceleration which the Affinity Productline uses.

For better 3D performance you can use VMware or other virtualization platforms, ( The IP autodetection and VM auto suspend only works for libvirt based platforms as of now.

But seems like they found multiple different non on their page in-detail documented (usage of other virtualization software and/or usage of physical dummy DP/HDMI plugs + installaiton of nvidia drivers and so on) ways to circumvent this issue which further complicates the endeavour.

 

Maybe someone can try out if the officially from Nvidia released Remote Desktop OpenGL Accelerator(nvidiaopenglrdp.exe) is also working for VMs?
