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.

Welcome to the wonderful Linux world!
I do not know Gallium, so I have very little to say about that.
Windows software can be run using Wine. It is a Windows emulator, and there is no guarantee it will work with CSP. Alternatively you could check for alternatives that run natively on Linux (Gallium). Krita? Inkscape?
Make no mistake, your journey into Linux will be riddled with obstacles, as it is not close to Windows at all. Inform yourself, learn, ask questions. But most of all: have fun!
I have dabbled with krita/Inkscape/gimp, so if I can't force CSP to work than I'm fine to use em, though I'd like to keep using it.
-im very aware about linux haha! I've floated around it /it's floated around me for years 'n years but I've never touched it myself.
