From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's a few areas where it's lacking, the text tool being one of them, and it also can't export to PDF for professional book cover printing. But I'm not a professional photo editer either, and almost exclusively use Krita for editing anyway, since it's so my h easier to use.

I see. So it's less about editing the pictures themself, and more about what they'll be used for.

And yeah, Krita is main image editing and drawing tool as well, helped out by Inkscape for vector graphics and Aseprite for pixel art.
