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've heard some artists prefer FireAlpaca to Krita. Is there anything it does better than Krita?
It's main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It's snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita's assistant tool. It's easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don't thinks there's anything that Firealpaca can do that's partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn't have a dark mode.
I'm not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I have my krita interface set up like firealpaca lol. The only feature krita missing now is the comic panel slicer tool.
Interesting. Can you explain how it works, please?
You can drag around windows or "Dockers" as they call them just like Photoshop and arrange them however you like. When you happy with the arrangement you can save it as a preset.
edit: Here's the workspace file for it if you want.
Oh nice. 👍
