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.

Now that can be an issue for some people (I mean secret contracts and stuff like that). I ~~don't use an image editor but if I did, I'd~~ use Krita btw

Krita, Inkspace, Gimp. I understand those who use it professionally but not the zealots who dont/barely use it yet demand for it like their life depended on it.

If you're using it professionally, you need your Photoshop to be properly licensed.

If you're not using it professionally, there's no need for proper licenses. And thus you can...acquire Photoshop in a way that doesn't involve it calling back to Adobe's systems.

I've finally started learning to use krita, I'm enjoying it a lot (begrudgingly)

Photoshop does a lot of things in really stupid, convoluted ways. Krita also does a lot of the same things in equally stupid, convoluted ways, but different than PS so you get no benefit from knowing how its done in other software. Text editing comes to mind. Both PS and Krita feel like they were designed by drunk people when it comes to doing anything beyond writing text and picking a font/color/size.

IIRC the Krita people were working on redoing the text tool. Not sure if/when it's going to be finished, though.
