I'm interested in starting drawing on my computer. What tablet is best for Linux?
This sounds great for the kids. Does anyone have experience of the combination Wacom/similar with a (cheap) Chromebook?
I also bought a HP Spectre x360 recently. Krita works really well on it too.
Not a support forum here - but does someone know, if there are ways to resize UI fonts for the Windows Krita application without touching the Windows setting for the whole monitor? The only way still working for me is an arcane - in fact deprecated for a long time - Qt environment variable (QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO), that makes a difference for at least a portable Krita installation.
This is a big deal. If you use a display drawing tablet, the likelihood of it having the same resolution as your display monitor are becoming less and less, and if I can't scale krita on its own the UI becomes a mess.

I do! This doesn't make sense to me. I have a Galaxy Note 12.2, and it's great, but bigger would be better (it's not quite A4). I also have a 12"×9" Wacom Intuos, 12" Surface Pro, 15" Surface Book 2 from work. All of those would be even better bigger (but the work laptop wouldn't fit in my backpack any more). I have a small Wacom tablet too, and it's too small to be very useful.
Touchscreens and Tablets are something very different. Sure you want as big screen as possible. I bet most people who switch to touchscreens never want tablet back. Many people prefer tablets over touchscreens because you don't have to slouch.
I wish there was a mode conducive to less control and creativity a la ArtRage. I am not a professional digital artist and all the control that digital drawing platforms have encumbers my creative workflow. Any chance we’ll get this in Krita? In ArtRage for example colors interact more like in real life and don’t need to separate objects in layers but just paint over the way layers naturally happen.
Anyone using Krita with a Wacom tablet under Linux? How do you draw?

Actual pros replace them with cintiq or similar and are always larger than A4. I've never seen a full time designer move down size, because you lose fidelity at the same zoom level and are constantly fiddling with zoom which is a source of major frustration
Of course you want cintiq as big as possible but not tablet. With A4 you get to a point where you have to move a lot around the table with hand in front of you while you are looking straight at your screen its just akward. You dont have space for keyboard etc.
He ended up changing the mapping to only use a small portion near the front as he could barely reach the back.
I bought a Wacom tablet to use with Krita and have been totally unable to figure out how to make it work. Every tutorial/video out there is for Windows and most of the settings that affect Krita are done in a windows setting area. I use Fedora/Gnome and don't have access to that level of settings (tho there are some settings available through Gnome via libwacom, which itself is awesome). Anyone using Krita with a Wac…
Aw, it does not work well on mobile phones, because the dialogues are cropped and unscrollable. I am going to keep an eye on it though, some apps like sketchbook are somewhat working but they are limited. Having krita equivalent for the phone would be awesome.

Clip Studio Paint and Affinity are also well-regarded, though not FOSS. CSP in particular has great support and advanced tools like posable maquettes and perspective rulers.
While we (Krita) don't have 3D support yet, but we do have perspective and other kinds of rulers (assistants) support. There are lots of other features too like wrap around mode for seamless tile creation etc.
