I used affinity about 5 years ago. Getting it to run smoothly on Linux is like a yearly tradition of mine. It has never worked well enough to replace native apps though. So yeah, waste of money. Having it run through wine “works” but it’s not usable.

It works natively on Wayland. The UI uses gtk4.

I use a window manager on my desktop.and gnome on my laptop. Gnome’s gestures are amazing with a touchpad

If you used manjaro before, then I will recommend endeavour. It is arch Linux (same as manjaro) with an installer. I found their support forums to be helpful as an arch user.

I literally just installed it on a spare laptop. I was going to install the lts, but saw a new release and couldn’t resist. Things seem pretty good so far.

XD yea. scrcpy --video-source=camera --no-audio --v4l2-sink=/dev/video0 --no-playback this is the command I use. There are a few more config options for orientation and to select the camera.

I just use scrcpy. They have instructions on their github.
