Indeed. Although I suspect Wine or proton could be an option - not checked.

Older versions historically haven’t worked very well, but I’ve not tried with newer copies.

There's a custom patched wine that can run version 1 reasonably well, and efforts were ongoing for version 2. Haven't really tried it since I'm not a artist. https://codeberg.org/Wanesty/affinity-wine-docs

Yeah I use this.

- V1 has some rendering issue on my work machine (haven't updated it in a bit, could have been fixed)

- V2 mostly works well on my home machine, some crashes

Overall wouldn't use it for work but for small edits it's fine.
