yes, same as all the other one, you can cancel out of login in and it still installs. I never logged into the microsoft store

but you have to close that login dialog every single time you use that App store to download apps which, for me, is infuriating

agreed that it's annoying, but not the end of the world neither, I don't install software multiple times a day every day

In this increasingly "Software as a Service" world, it's nice to have a good alternative where you actually own the software you are using. Being FOSS is just icing on the cake. Huge respect to the team behind Krita, and the KDE community as a whole.

While I share your appreciation of Krita and FOSS in general (long live Gimp and Inkscape), I have to point out that there are good commercial software that are not a total subscription rip-off (I'm looking at you Adobe). Here are some I know of and have used (bugs and limitations and everything): - The Affinity suite - Corel Painter and perhaps a few others. They do their job of paying their developers, cultivating…

Feel the need to point out that "Photoimpact" is still available and works well for me.

Started using it years ago - corel bought it I think, and they did not kill it thank goodness.

It's easy for me, easy for me to teach other complete noobs how to do most things with it, and no subscription for internet required to work.

We just made it build, which needed a bit of hacking in Qt, and then some hacking in Krita, but it was doable within the scope of a Google Summer of Code. Of course, the devil is in the details, and that's what Sharaf is working on now.

Hm, so you run Qt Widgets on Android as it is?

Yes.
