Right when I submitted enough wine patches to get Affinity Photo v1 working on linux, they go and release V2 with a couple WinRT lib calls which are basically completely missing from wine :(
I'd still be very interested in hearing if v1 is running (or what's left to be done, particularly for Designer/Publisher, but your progress on Photo is also welcome!). I use Affinity consistently for work and would love to split less time between systems. Been using v1 for enough years that reverting to it wouldn't be an issue.
