Krita linux6/12/2023 ![]() Krita, once the black sheep of the KOffice bundle, has received a lot of attention as a standalone application. Krita and MyPaint are two open source alternatives that are specifically designed for digital artists. For drawing and painting, users quickly realize that they need more than Gimp, including brushes, Wacom-style graphic tablet support, and artistic effects. However, Gimp isn't the only raster graphics (aka bitmap) editor for Linux. The laptop is in my living room and ideal to test ( real install, not a virtual box ) and test color profiling support / wacom support / Krita performance on compositor, etc.When it comes to an open source alternative to Photoshop, most people think of Gimp. On my laptop, I'm doing experimental test I install new distributions each month ( OpenSUSE, Fedora 23 Workstation, ArchLinux, Manjaro, Antergos ) to feed my curiosity and build my opinion on other distro. The library didn't changed this much, so I even could develop advanced habit and bash script to boost the productivity on Pepper&Carrot. That's why I'm sticking to Mint for my main productive distribution. ![]() I trust the Mint team now, I never experienced this on Linux before. I had the new 17.1, 17.2 Mint and last weeks 17.3 via update, without reinstall, and it was smooth each time. I'll follow the 16.04 LTS series in April. My workstation main PC here is still on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon ( since December 2014 I think, and previous distro was Xubuntu 14.04LTS, so I'm sticking with 14.04 packages since almost 2 years, I'm not really distro jumping anymore ). I only overwrite the root ' / ' partition. Unfortunately my motherboard hasn't UEFI boot supportġ8 january 2016, 11:26 : Thanks again for the correction Barros : Hey, the main tip I have is to keep the installation on minimum 3 partitions the root ' / ', the 'swap' and one for '/home'. NVIDIA graphics card (AMD and Intel graphics support coming soon) Q: What are the SteamOS Hardware Requirements? Updated kernel tracking the 3.10 longterm branch (currently 3.10.11)Ĭustom graphics compositor designed to provide a seamless transition between Steam, its games and the SteamOS system overlayĬonfigured to auto-update from the Valve SteamOS repositories The first version (SteamOS 1.0) is called 'alchemist' and it is based on the Debian 'wheezy' (stable 7.1) distribution.īackported eglibc 2.17 from Debian testingĪdded various third-party drivers and updated graphics stack (Intel and AMD graphics support still being worked on) SteamOS is a fork (derivative) of Debian GNU/Linux. I updated the wiki of calligra with correct dependencies list. Here I use 'pamac' to install or remove package, it's really 'synaptic' like, and I update system with terminal ( rarely, when all works ).įor building Krita, my previous article with building "Krita for cats" was proof tested by me 2 weeks ago on Arch and OpenSuse. Install AUR package ( community package, larger than PPA base ) Once you know this few basic ( replace PACKAGENAME with your package name, no caps needed :-) : Shouldn't be hard to switch from Ubuntu : I'm pretty sure, my next test will be Antergos. But to get Gnome 3.10 running on Manjaro it's hard you have to remove everypackage almost, or run the installation from terminal. I could get all running, but I love too much Arch AUR system so I decided to go back Manjaro. Here I tested OpenSuse Gnome during 24h as a full install. ![]() Antegos is probably less stable ( rolling + based on arch) but the most flexible. 06 december 2013, 11:12 : The two you mention are really nice.
