This is depressing. Perfectly good alternatives to all Adobe have existed for many years and are used at pro level, but someone hallucinates some code with claude (which I hear was trained on code of programs like gimp and inkscape) and suddenly everyone is raving about it being the end of Adobe, though the thing they praise is at best entry level stuff. But like other snake oil sellers, they claim it will get there, though their "in one month" is now "many months" #artcraft #foss

@randygalbraith @dilmandila My exact setup as well haha
@cuirass_entertainment @randygalbraith @dilmandila for us it's Fedora, Krita and a XPpen Artist Pro for our oldest. Mostly thanks to the wonderful articles by @davidrevoy
Since this is a Wintendo free gamer household I was really happy that this combination worked out great and we didn't have to introduce her to Adobe products at all.
@bekopharm @cuirass_entertainment @dilmandila @davidrevoy I have 4 daughters (age 38 to 23). My 2nd and 4th pursue art. For my 2nd it was GIMP and 4th was Krita. The banter I have with my 4th orbits around GIMP being the program for older people. Of course I use GIMP but only to crop and scale photos. Cheers, -Randy
@dilmandila there have been a few sensible and serious reviews of this slop and they all find the same fundamental problems. Turns out it’s easy to churn out somethjng that looks just like the adobe ui but of course it doesn’t actually work.
@dilmandila My youngest daughter is an artist. She uses a Wacom tablet with Krita on her System76 laptop running Pop!_OS. When I told her about this she just shrugged and said "I use Krita." Cheers, -Randy #krita
