Ask Fedora

Hi,. This may be a new / old topic ?

I am a Visual Graphic Dessigner. These days, I do use Affinity on Linux.

…but …one issue for me.
Is there anyway to install BlueGriffon for Fedora / Nobara ?

I have Google and everything. I couldn’t find any way to install BlueGriffon.
BlueGriffon is the only issue that I have.

Fedora / Nobara are very awesome for me, personality.

Any special formulas to build BlueGriffon and run it ?
I have told that any App is totally possible to install and run on any Linux.

Any ideas ?
Thanks.

I think BlueGriffon is long dead:

That’s not true. :rofl:

People are still using it. People are using seamonkey for webdesign.

BlueGriffon works great with Arch Linux and Windows 11.

Itis very possible to make it as RPM file or a good AppImage, Not good AppImage that I may find.

I suggest you find another distro that still has python2, this is required to build BlueGriffon

As others have noted, BlueGriffon is no longer maintained. For other options see: https://alternativeto.net/software/bluegriffon/
