I think you’ve got that backwards.
Not liking the name of the software I use and saying your preferred application is superior is better because it’s prettier are emotional arguments.
I stated that Krita doesn’t do what I need it to do at the moment but would consider switching to it if it did.
I didn’t say the GIMP is better for all use cases. I said it’s better for my use case. And it’s really weird for you to get this defensive when both applications are FOSS.
Some photo editing features were either never added, or they feel clunky to use. Either way, the GIMP is better suited even if it’s uglier.
Krita is a great tool for artists, but I’m not going to force myself to use it instead of the GIMP, and I’m not going to tell others it’s designed for something it’s not. I’ll keep checking in on it, but until it does what I need it to, it’s not going to become my main tool for photo editing.
Krita may have started out as a photo editor, but that’s clearly not its focus today. If I need to edit a photo, I will use a tool better suited for that task, even if that tool isn’t as pretty as Krita.
Yeah, it confused me at first, but now I love it and never want to have to go back to dealing with Device Manager freaking out if I need to move a drive or swap out hardware.
Linux doesn’t have a Device Manager or database like Windows does. It automatically picks the appropriate drivers for the hardware in the system when it boots, based on what drivers are installed. And as others have mentioned, most distros ship generic kernels with all the open-source drivers included.
That’s what I thought. People keep saying Krita is a great alternative to GIMP, Photoshop, and Affinity Photo, but photo editing is not its focus at all.
Isn’t Krita more focused on digital painting than photo editing? I always end up going back to the GIMP because of that even though I use KDE.

Fun fact, it’s a carryover from when dial service was first implemented in the United States!
In the beginning, you’d pick up the phone and hear “Number please?” and then you’d tell the operator the central office name followed by the number, like “Bubbling Brook 3-2468” or “Murray Hill 5-9975”
Once dial service was implemented, you’d instead hear the dial tone and then dial the first two letters of the office name, followed by the rest of the number (BU32468 or MU59975), using this arrangement of letters.
Once phone numbers went to all-digits around 1961, the letters on the dial got repurposed for numbers like these. Of course, they got repurposed again for T9 texting and contact search.
Are the Krita developers paying you to go off the rails like this?
