@kde @Krita Sounds great. I would like to see a redesign for touch screen.
@kde @Krita @davidrevoy Nice! This definitely will come in handy for people running Linux on their hacked Chromebooks (most of them come with touchscreen *and* USI pen support).

I really enjoy my KOHAKU with 4K AMOLED screen and pen from S22 Ultra (inside a 3D-printed holder for better grip), running Fedora KDE. I wished for better touchscreen support (like palm rejection) in Krita 

@elly >Fedora KDE

Regular or Kinoite? What are your impressions so far?

@kde @davidrevoy @Krita

@apicultor I mean, I maintain Linux on Chromebooks so it's been a smooth sailing for me (not to mention that I've been using Linux since 2008, so longer than Windows - despite growing up with XP/7).

Kinoite won't work because you need to pull downstream UCM configuration, as upstreaming custom configs for over 200 machines is a PITA.
@elly @apicultor You can either build your own ostree image or use sysext to layer downstream ucm on top of a regular kinoite image
@weirdtreething @apicultor yes, I usually assume that people mean "Does it work OOTB" if they ask if something is working

@elly I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.

How do you like Fedora+KDE specifically?

What are your thoughts on immutable/atomic setups?

@apicultor I think they're perfect for "regular" users, but not for me - I do a lot on my machines and mess with configs, packages etc quite often.

Concept is nice and has a benefit of security added to it, but for power users it's a pain in the butt. I don't even reboot my systems that often, maybe once a month.
@kde @Krita @davidrevoy great news, I'd love to make better use of the touchscreen on my HP convertible. I also like to doodle on my Note10 lite using Autodesk Sketchbook, most everything else ranges from barely functional to outright malware
@kde @Krita @davidrevoy oh yes an actual android version would be admirable. the current is just a port of the desktop UI, and that is totally unusable on a phone :(
@f4grx Android version yes, but for phones probably not.
@kde @Krita Hope it'll make Krita usable on my surface pro + pen. At the moment palm rejection is a total mess
@kde @Krita @davidrevoy yes please with sugar on top!
@kde @Krita @davidrevoy I need to know where I could get one of those keyboards 

@celestia Hey Celestia, just check this article on my blog: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article989/how-to-customise-a-usb-numeric-keypad-under-gnulinux , it's based on a cheap USB numeric keypad.

@kde @Krita

How to customise a USB numeric keypad under GNU/Linux?

@davidrevoy @kde @Krita woah! didn't expect a full-blown tutorial, thanks a lot!! 

@kde @Krita @davidrevoy

Krita my Beloved. I can not donate, but every piece of digital art I have on this account was made in Krita.

I even prefer Krita to LibreSprite or Aseprite.

Just give me pixel perfect lines aaaa <3

That's amazing, I just bought a Tab s6 lite that comes with an S pen and I only use it with krita, and after some configuration it's already amazing! Can't wait to see what they'll do

@kde @Krita @davidrevoy

ABSOLUTE W, I use krita on my s24 ultra all the time!
