this looks like a great release!

and although i bought the affinity apps a while ago - after i got them somewhat running on kubuntu - i still tend to use inkscape more often than affinity designer.

i guess it’s time for me to donate a few bucks … 😊

hmm, usually the & is not part of the filename and just tells the script to run in the background 🤔

but i’m not sure what it means in this case.

ok, yes, i suppose i should not have mentioned the scripts without attaching a warning.

i’m still grateful though that someone put in the effort to write 'em, because they finally solved a problem for me that i couldn’t solve for years.

i guess now it’s “the communities” turn to properly document and dissect those scripts for the larger user base.

i’m certainly not angry with whoever wrote those scripts because he didn’t put in even more effort for free.

but i do get your point (i think) and agree.

Well, jeah, i usually don’t like those too much either.

But then i just open the url and read the script line for line.

I got it running on my two kubuntu 24.04 machines using the scripts described in this video:

The process was still a bit fiddly but i got all three affinity apps running now.

bitwig studio comes with tons of samples. it’s a fantastic daw.

there’s a reason a lot of ableton users switch over to bitwig.

reaper is also very good, but a bit clunky for edm/techno/etc.
