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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote www.JAmedia.uk and www.TamworthHeritage.org.uk [Win 11 | AMD Ryzen 5950X 16 Core CPU | 128GB Ram | NVIDIA 3080TI 12GB ] [MB ASUS ProArt B550| C Drive:; 1TB M2 980 Pro | D Drive; 2TB M2 970 EVO ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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.

Laura Ess Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Just came across this. I have no idea how good it is. Quote With Cassowary you can run a Windows virtual machine and use Windows applications on Linux as if they were native applications, built upon FreeRDP and remote apps technology.

Cassowary https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary/issues/83 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. https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary/blob/main/docs/1-virt-manager.md Quote 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? https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-opengl-rdp Quote Sketchbook (with Affinity Suite usage) | timurariman.com | artstation store Windows 11 Pro - 23H2 | Ryzen 5800X3D | RTX 3090 - 24GB | 128GB | Main SSD with 1TB | SSD 4TB | PCIe SSD 256GB (configured as Scratch disk) | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
