Affinity works fine on Linux using this: https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer Yes, even hardware acceleration works.
“I just wish Affinity would release a native port, but in the meantime, this works really good.”

Speaking of "Content Creation", I'd also like to add the Affinity Suite. I don't particularly like it after being bought by Canva, but it works almost flawlessly on Linux. You can even download a ready-to-run AppImage (no need to tinker with Wine settings) from here: https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer/releases I just wish Affinity would release a native port, but in the meantime, this works really good.
“Works flawlessly and they recently upgraded the script to install Affinity 3.0.”

I've been running Affinity Photo on Fedora for a while by running this installation script[1]. Works flawlessly and they recently upgraded the script to install Affinity 3.0. I haven't encountered/solved your second use-case, but I'm /sure/ someone has. [1] https://github.com/ryzendew/AffinityOnLinux
