Generally, I’ll do RAW editing in something like Darktable, and then do actual retouching work in Krita.
So many interests, so little time and money. Always interested in talking to more like-minded people!

Yea, it really is very good. I’m not sure what you mean by gamut tools, but there are out of gamut warnings, gamut masks, histograms, etc.
Krita has CMYK, and very good non-destructive editing these days. It’s my preferred photo editor, including for the occasional magazine ad work I do. It also has great support for PS files, including smart layers, etc, plus it has layer effects, masking, filter layers, GPU accelerated canvas, and G’MIC support covers a lot of the fancier pbotoshop stuff like content-aware fill. IMO, for the workflow and interface alone, it’s leagues ahead of G***.
I use Krita as an image editor and I prefer it.


Rooibos, mint, and chamomile for sure.
Initial setup can be hard, and then, because GNU/Linux lets you do whatever you want, It’s not hard to bork the system if you’re using commands you don’t understand. The biggest realization for me was that if I want a stable system, I can’t expect to experiment with it / customize it to the nth degree unless I have a robust rollback / recovery solution like timeshift in place. Feeling very empowered after leaving windows, I have destroyed many systems, but truly, if you set up your system and then leave it alone, these days it’s not difficult to have a good experience.
But yea, you’re totally right: the userbase can be toxic AF, and there’s no one place you can go to learn the basics you really ought to know.


I actually use EOS on my main machine. Still had a better experience on Manjaro.


…and so many more
I thought you could only select from a pre-defined list of addons in Firefox mobile?
