Downloaded and installed today. Dual boot still 🥺 because of 3 apps I use every day only available IN Windows.

Zorin 18 looks pretty good but it needs some tweaks here and there.

do you think it will help if the companies making those 3 apps actually extend linux support?

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Absolutely. I am done with Windows. The software is from Serif, the British company behind the Affinity platform, and they have a big announcement at the end of the month. Fingers crossed it is multiplatform support.

Don't hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

You can run Affinity on Linux through a custom wine build. https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux

Do you think this software might work with Bottles or similar Windows emulating platforms? Could be worth a shot to be rid of Windows entirely.

Wine and bottles has been mentioned. Let me also throw Winboat at you... winboat.app
