edit: Probably can ignore this - I was thinking Affinity Photo, but you’re probably referring to its Photoshop alternative.
Have you tried Darktable? I’m a 10 year+ Lightroom veteran, and having switched over to Linux I’ve had to find alternatives. It was not a straightforward transition, but after watching a lot of tutorials I am starting to grasp it now and adjusting my workflow. I think with a month of practice I’ll be able to get my previous results. I’m pretty close already, just running a bit slow due to all the keyboard shortcuts being different.
I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.
Are they actually .Net Framework apps or they just use it for some parts? If they are, they could transition to .Net which is cross platform. With some work, of course.
The Affinity Suite started out as macOS-only apps which later got ported to Windows so I would be very surprised to hear they had any substantial portion written in .net
This means it runs with WINE? Or something similar?
WineDB says all their apps are “Garbage” status - eg does not run.
So no Linux then, unless running a virtualized Windows.
I run it in a VM. Definitely not ideal, but affinity is so good, I compromise

Yeah, I even wonder why they need it at all.
