@anthropy It's Wine with patches specifically designed to make Affinity work: github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux So I would assume that if there was a more simple solution, the community would've taken it.
@Baa@anthropy@ada It's weird because CachyOS ships nvidia, nvidia-open and nouveau, but its hardware detection tool only lists nvidia-open for my GPU. I could install the packages manually, but honestly, I saw enough about how Affinity runs on Linux independent from the GPU that it doesn't seem to be worth investing any more effort
Canva released an update for Affinity just today while I was trying it. Are they still doing changelogs, or did they get moved to the fucking Discord along with the community?
I explicitly had to go against literally all guides which tell you to disable DXVK and enable it. Now the Nvidia GPU shows up in the list. Next dilemma: Affinity under WINE doesn't save settings, and I have no idea what the XML file is supposed to look like, so I have no way to set it manually.
I guess getting rid of Windows won't be so easy after all. I unblocked my Nvidia GPU so it's usable on my Linux host, and tried using it as primary GPU since it better anyway. It runs like shit. So now I use both the AMD and the Nvidia GPU and only use the desktop on the AMD outputs. That's great. But Affinity just refuses to see the Nvidia GPU as rendering device, even if I use the desktop on both GPUs. And I haven't even checked if I can set the GPU in Minecraft. I didn't buy this GPU just to have it doing nothing in the computer.
Another thing I learned is that there's a patcher which lets me use V3 without an account and shady things like the offline time check. Makes me feel way more confident about giving it a try
