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.

https://graphite.rs looks like it might replace gimp at some point

This actually seems pretty great alternative to PS, thanks for the tip!

Graphite.rs is node-based.

It's entirely different workflow.

No it isnt, i used it and while there is that, you can totally ignore it

Looks like they'll be more in Krita's waters, if anything. And Krita already has a solid UI.

Maybe? It looks like it’s tuned towards generative use cases. Sometimes you need to just edit a photo really quickly and setting up a bunch of nondestructive nodes seems like more of a hassle than help.

But hopefully I’m wrong! This is the first I’ve heard of the project.

Nose based software typically still has a sidebar ala Lightroom for quick things. Both Blender and Graphite use this approach. Nodes are for when you want to go further.
