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.

    Some people are recommending GIMP. It’s not bad for image editing. For image creation krita and Inkscape are amazing.

      Yes, you can do the fundamentals & professional design work in these applications—there is no reason to be spending money just to “get into” graphic arts. Hugin + Darktable are great for photography too.
