    I haven’t followed this software and company before, what do you mean, what is the catch?

    Adobe doesn’t offer any of its software for free except acrobat reader, where you get nagged about paid features constantly, but it’s easy to ignore.

    Why shouldn’t I recommend this over cracked Photoshop? Its features seems like closer to PS than Gimp or Krita.





  • Just the heads up, that cpu is ancient. Its performance is comparable to an Rpi 4, but that old cpu consumes 30W+ while a full rpi maxes around 6-7 W. Rpi 5 is around 4-5 times more powerful with third power.

    So it’s good if you just tinkering with old hardware for fun, but you can buy far more powerful modern hardware for only several dollars if you look at the second hand market.

    Also I remember, I dealt with Toshibas from that era, they were quite locked down, e.g. you couldn’t install upstream nvidia drivers on them only the outdated ones signed by Toshiba. So it’s not unexpected that some options like that are missing in bios settings.





  • Wtf man, developers are also people. Most of them doing this for free in their free time. You are the kind of entitled user who makes foss devs burn out. Never thought I will find one in the wild.

    I use krita frequently and never met your bug so it’s not as recreatable or important as you think.

    Noone forces you to use krita. If it doesn’t fit your workflow or if you think developers are deliberately sabotaging your work, you can switch to another free or paid alternative. If you would switch to a paid one, you could speak to a manager.

    In op’s case I’m not sure it’s a you problem. In your case I’m sure it is.
