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 recently did raster graphics editing in inkscape instead of GIMP, simply because GIMP is often pretty unusable. Worked out really fine!
I use Krita for raster, but Inkscape is the best for vector
And to complete the trifecta, there's also Aseprite for pixel art (it's free if you compile it yourself).
I think I may have contracted some kind of brain worm, because the other day I needed to do some photo manipulation and couldn't get krita to do what I wanted, but I went into gimp and just knocked it out. I've hated gimp for years, but I guess I've used it enough that I've figured out how it works... and now I don't hate it anymore...
I think I may need help.
Oh, but I always use it in single window mode ever since that came out. The multiple windows floating panel thing drove me nuts!
Yes GIMP works too, kinda.
But stuff like writing text fields and moving them around is just horrible. The text doesnt behave as expected at all, formatting is always lost, moving instead grabs something random from the background
That works really fine in Inkscape
I find that I’ll do the bare minimum in GIMP (like that one healing extension), and then I’ll copy what I have over to Inkscape to do the rest.
