Krita Foundation in Trouble

Re:Krita Foundation in Trouble by gghh on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @06:52AM (#14899381)

I'd like to drop a note on how much I appreciate Krita. I'm not an artist by any mean, I'm a programmer and while I think I write/draw/sketch a lot on paper. A few months ago I switched from paper to digital hand-writing and bought an old Wacom Intuos drawing tablet. I'm on Linux and Krita works great with a stylus; very comfortable and intuitive, I haven't looked back.

I only tried a drawing tablet once for a few days (also with Krita), but I too was very surprised by how easy it is to setup everything. Basically just install the package with the Wacom driver (xf86-input-wacom on Arch Linux), restart the X server and you're good to go.

Tried exactly same setup yesterday and was surprised how it just works.

Huion are good as well, and very cheap.

There are some problems with Huion, but they really try to work with us and we with them -- the latest drivers even fixed the rocker-switch click bug :-)

Huion tablets are way cheaper than Wacom of course ;-)
