Is it pointless to buy the Affinity Suite and try get it running on Linux?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Photopea for Photoshop stuff, GIMP if what I'm doing needs a particular feature or does better (though that's not Very many anymore). Inkscape is surprisingly good once you get accustomed to the interface.
I've heard good things about Krita but I've not messed around with it at all, but it supposedly is much more modern and user friendly than GIMP but suited for digital art and drawing.
I'm hoping affinity comes to Linux, or at least proton/wine pushes hard for it because it's the one area where desktop Linux is really poor at the moment
