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.

Alternatives for Photoshop? (lemmy.zip)

Hello fediverse penguins!

Being in Linux for 2+ years, I have found alternative solutions for the apps I used on windows. But I can't find something like Photoshop.

I started using Krita, which is amazing and does lots of things I do, but the text editor when I try to resize text, it just ruins it and gets blurry sometimes. Then I found inkscape, which was good for, text and everything else worked fine, but not much of photo editor.

So what next? any recommendations ?

I also use kdenlive for video editing, and rawtherapee for DSLR photos editing.

Were you using a desktop environment or wm setup? Been drawing with Krita on KDE Wayland every day for two years without any of these issues. Also on M1 and M2 Macs without issues. XP-Pen display.

I should have mentioned it more clearly that this could be a combination of bugs, not necessarily a Krita bug. Because this issue is not only with Krita, but many (or even all) XWayland apps. All Wine apps shared this too. So, the primary issue is that it needs XWayland instead of being Wayland-native.

I use Sway on Arch Linux, and Gnome on Fedora. I haven’t been doing anything on Fedora for years, as it’s a shared family computer and it has just one display. So, I expect it would be good there. To my memory, it was. I was trying various graphical things, even Photoshop and Illustrator with Wine, and they were mostly working too.

I think I could issue a DE for drawing sessions, when needed, if that solves the issue. So, thanks for mentioning that it’s issues-free on KDE. It’s more obvious to me now that actually Krita is a KDE thing, after all.

But, honestly, it feels the same as doing my hacky scripts to mitigate the bug. I’d love it to just work, that’s why I mention I hope it would be Wayland native one day.
