Protection of Krita: one of the best hand drawing application, I used many years for create some digital arts. No the best but good for example: idea.stemhungary.com/ (pwa program for mobil devices, but work in modern browser - hungarian languages) , but I used Krita windows version few years ago. My solution for linux - like os is macOS, because terminal work with linux command and iterm2 is really fine for day bay day works, plus you can work with best photo editing programs too. Also easy ssh to VPN machine.

Plus I great fun of MacBook Pro with touchbar and touchpad because don't need use mouse, and really small portable to work anywhere, don't need afraid desktop.

I got a bit confused while using it, cause I guess Krita is more for vector design and digital painting, but I am more into image editing and memeing. What do you think Is krita good for beginners?

Krita is great for pixel graphic, worst for vector and terrible for text. Total good for beginers.

Of course Krita is great for character design, also shine when you would like draw endless texture much much easier than PS.

Krita is an amazing piece of software. It may not do everything (yet), but even just the UI is a massive leap forward from typical linux software from 10 years ago: it's much more aware of the typical user and totally lacks this slight sense of elitism that many other linux programs have ("here at XYZ, we do things differently")
