Does it work (well) under WINE / Proton?
Having used both After Effects, Apple Motion and a bit of Blender on and off for about 20 years, I really miss a good motion graphics tool that runs well on Linux. Blender could be it, but it is currently not there.
Will definitely check out TiXL when I have some spare time, if it is possible to run under WINE!
Bonus question: How does TiXL compare to Friction? (https://friction.graphics)
I think the parts that run, run surprisingly well. Performance on Wine is incredible. I would argue faster than on Windows.
But there are a bunch of issues related to internal Windows APIs that need to be resolved, esp. related to encoding videos with MS Media Foundation. We're planning to replace that with ffmpeg / libav. But sadly due to GPL and patent issues, bundling an encoder is then even more complex.
