Ouch. I feel that comment on many levels.

I considered getting a Pilet, but I can’t justify the cost when my 5-year-old lenovo flexpad does everything I need. Then I almost got a Raspberry Pi 500 just because it’s cool, but again, I don’t have any actual use case, I just love these sort of setups.

At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.

I’ve bought several early access games that I don’t play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn’t do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would’ve bought it too.

This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It’s designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.

So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a “non-steam-game” to make starting the program super simple.

I am no expert here, it’s just a thought.
