Software that Doesn’t Run on Linux

No Linux Version

  • Affinity - Neither the current version owned by Canva nor the old versions, Affinity 1 or Affinity 2. In fact, there is a general lack of good image editing software that runs natively on Linux. There is always Gimp, but I hate Gimp.
    • There is a project to get Affinity to run using Wine.
      • I have tried following the steps to get this up and running, but I’m getting held up on this step here.
  • Scrivener - I need to experiment to see if I can get it to run on Wine.

Linux Version Sucks

  • TickTick - Doesn’t support global shortcuts or desktop widgets. Normally I wouldn’t care, but I’ve gotten into the habit of using desktop shortcuts to quickly add todos, and I like the pomodoro timer in TickTick as a desktop widget.
