Affinity can be installed on Linux via WINE just fine. There’s even a repo for it. Fusion360, of all things, also works the same way. WINE is not just for gaming
Can you link what you are talking about for Fusion360 by chance? I’ve tried repeatedly and it always seems to be broken at the part where it wants to open a web browser so you can log in… I ended up running Fusion in WinBoat, but it just isn’t as performant so I would love a Wine solution instead.
I’ve tried it a few times, and like… it’s frustrating because I can get so close, but the missing bit feels like an impenetrable wall. Like, I can occasionally make something, but it isn’t anywhere near as nice of a model/part and it takes significantly longer to do. I tend to try it out again once every several months to see if new stuff makes it easier for me to use, but so far it hasn’t been a great solution for me.
Hey, I heard they addressed the topological naming problem in the 1.0 release. I’m gonna follow Digikey’s FreeCAD tutorial and see if it’s as good as they say.
Ahh, you have the new install. Yes that is a known issue. I was installing it before they did the switcheroo with their custom distribution QT6 webview (the root cause of the issue). If you have the old install it still works just fine

@Crozekiel @bitfucker Maybe we should all just switch to FreeCAD (easier said than done).

Or just use an OS that natively supports Affinity…
