Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

@davidrevoy Thanks for the detailed post!

What's wrong with the Flatpak package for Krita?

It's Verified on Flathub, which means it's officially maintained by Krita's developers. It's linked as a download option on the Krita site. Though it says "Maintained by the community," which is strange.

The Color Management & HDR Wayland protocol seems close. They seem to be waiting for implementations. See this Mesa draft MR from last month: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me

& Weston: gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland

GitLabDraft: vulkan/wsi: implement color management protocol (!28762) · Merge requests · Mesa / mesa · GitLabThis is using the xx_color_management variant from this MR:

@jnodesu @davidrevoy the fact that color management in Wayland is "close" offers little comfort to people who need to get things done _now_ ;)

@purusov @davidrevoy I'm only offering my excitement about it being close.

Stay on X11 now, and when CM + the ICC profile portal are merged and compositors have implemented them, creatives (whether they be artists, video editors, photographers, or anyone who deals with color) can use Wayland.

@jnodesu @purusov Hey, about:

> It's Verified on Flathub, which means it's officially maintained by Krita's developers.

It just mean it got verified and an icon at a point. Not a seal of approval.

Eg. github.com/flathub/org.kde.kri & github.com/flathub/org.kde.kri : not a single nickname in this list are part of weekly IRC meeting/decisions, or assigned to official bug-fix (as far as I know).

It really is a community package, and can be very serious, good, well done, but not officially beta-tested afaik.
