  • Not really both Krita and GIMP works mainly on raster images like Photoshop. Illustator is a vector graphic software. The closest foss relative of which would be Inkscape.

    The thing is, Photoshop was born as a photo manipulation tool but the drawing functionality has become an industry standard (I think mostly because they give free licenses to students). GIMP is a photo manipulation tool and Krita is a digital painting software. They have overlap but neither of them aim at replacing Photoshop as a whole. GIMP may be the closest match. Krita is more comparable to ClipStudio or Corel painter imo.




  • Right now, macOS. Switched to it when I started uni and I’m never going back to Windows. The main reasons are:

    • unix based
    • generally easier to manage software
    • the OS itself has most of the basic utilities already packed in and most of them with the right features. I rarely felt the need to install new software to cover lacking parts.

    Also, generally stuff is packed fairly well, with care for user experience.

    I will say, I’m dipping my feets in linux as well, and it looks like a lot of distro now are mature and accessible. If I ever were to buy a second pc I would seriously consider the penguin.
