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.

Cheers. I use Krita myself, but I've heard people say "Krita is terrible; try FireAlpaca." I think that might be because it has performance issues on other operating systems; I'm not in a position to test. It's good to hear Krita is basically ahead on all fronts except learning curve. Nonetheless, it's nice to see a Linux version. FireAlpaca advertises a Dark Mode, but I'm guessing it's a paid-only feature.
