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.

Do other tools really exist, though? I do some animation in Blender, but the only real image editor I have access to with a timeline is pirated Photoshop which I hate using because their interface is garbo. There exist several industry-use programs like ToonBoom or Clip Studio Paint EX for hundreds of dollars.

I just would feel most comfortable animating in GIMP tbh. If they announced it was in the works I could probably even pitch in a donation to help it along.
