I'm too noob to know what either of those things are. I looked them up and I'm still scratching my head lol
Yesterday was only my second time logging onto the Linux box, so I have a lot to learn.
I tried on both wine and playonlinux, but had the same issue both times. So I'll try a simple text editor or something and see if that works.
I really don't wanna have to go back to Windows.
Kitra is a different drawing program native to linux. Linux also has native text editors, is there a reason you need these specific windows programs or would an alternative work, like gedit instead of windows notepad?
The text editor I'll try just to see if I'm doing the installation properly, nothing else.
I paid for SAI and I've used it for about 15 years. I really love it. My artwork is all saved in SAI format. Worst case, I'll have to install it on the windows hard drive.
Wayland = the GUI protocol. I'll try to build up the short version: Linux is modular, you don't have to have a GUI at all to run Linux. Most GUI systems themselves are modular, but a core component of the Linux GUI for a very long time has been a thing called X11. X11 is old and busted. Wayland is the new hotness. Some distros are using Wayland now. It offers some cool features that X11 either struggles with or can't do at all, but on the other hand there's lots of software that still doesn't work well with Wayland yet. I've been a Linux user for 10 years and the transition has been in the works the entire time.
Krita = a raster image editor/art app from KDE, the impression I get is that it's really made for digital drawing and painting, with some photo editing capabilities. GIMP (The GNU Image Manipulation Program) is more for "photoshopping." For vector art I would go with Inkscape.
Krita looks impressive. I might give it a try. Thanks!
