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.
GIMP and Krita are much more versatile than folks give them credit for. And of course there's Inkscape for vector. I would suggest learning on these tools and if you find yourself limited then you can start considering other options.
