For context, I want to teach myself Graphics Design as I had dropped out of college copule years ago for personal reason but still want to learn it.

I have heard from few people online that they have got Affinity running with Bottles or Wine. I really want to use less of Windows whereas possible but I’m unsure how well it performs on Linux and if there are a better alternative from Affinity and Adobe in general.

    I hate that kind of instructions “just blindly pipe curl to bash and hope it’s not malware “

        It’s just bad practice to even post such a thing. Especially with an influx of new users to linux, it appears so often it makes it seem like that’s normal behavior.

        It’s like…a gun salesman handing a purchase to a customer barrel first, finger on the trigger. Like yeah, it’s not loaded, nothing is going to happen, but that’s just terrible practice.
