So you've probably heard that the Affinity Software is now free and offers AI features behind a paywall.
Understandibly this raises concerns regarding privacy and future enshittification as we have seen it a million times in other apps.

The thing is you can run Affinity on linux by using wine. In my case i installed it via the lutris flatpak and revoked the access to the internet using flatseal so it can't phone home and send any data.
Now on to my point. It would be cool if we could use the AI features it offers with a local model similar to what is possible with Krita.
Unfortunately i know nothing about programming so i just want to put the idea out there. Maybe someone looking for a project wants to try making a local AI plugin for Affinity.
Thanks
