For context, I want to teach myself Graphics Design as I had dropped out of college copule years ago for personal reason but still want to learn it.

I have heard from few people online that they have got Affinity running with Bottles or Wine. I really want to use less of Windows whereas possible but I'm unsure how well it performs on Linux and if there are a better alternative from Affinity and Adobe in general.

Affinity is on my list of reasons I don't go 100% Linux. People have gotten it to work (I myself have not tried) but it always seems janky and not a long term solution.

There are alternatives to Affinity, but that's another discussion. Why you want it, your use cases etc.

I am currently deciding between a dual boot scenario vs a VM of Windows. I'll probably choose the latter, but your situation might not want to even go down this road.

    If you use Docker, I've had good luck with this project, it makes slapping a windows VM on your machine very easy and fast to set up, and you can RDP into it locally, xfreerdp has a ton of options to use everything including multimonitor.
