Any plans on gaming on Linux? If so, I'd recommend Nobara instead (which is based on Fedora, but optimized for gaming).
I'm very much a casual (half-assed) gamer. I'm just as happy with a nice-looking Freecell as whatever Steam feels like sharing. I'll probably spend more time tinkering with WINE to see if I can get Affinity running on it so I don't have to boot into windows except for work.
Affinity has a garbage rating on WineHQ unfortunately. But maybe GIMP + PhotoGIMP, Photopea, or even Photoshop could be an option.
What work stuff are you using Windows for?
Affinity has Pantone support built in and can switch between publisher and photo mode flawlessly so the workflow is better than inDesign/Photoshop. As for work stuff, I'm stuck with Adobe products so it's more or less non-negotiable. Most of what I do is done in inDesign so I think Scribus would be the closest alternative, but I'll be trying everything I think. It's probably 5 years since I last used linux as a daily driver so I'm keen to see how far the software has come.
