Preface: I'm not an artist and cannot judge anything of what you're saying here.

Quoting: GuestSorry for the rant, this is just a recent source of real frustration for me.

Well, that really shines through...

Quoting: GuestUnless you want to paint in a painterly style (e.g. something that looks more like it might have been painted traditionally than digitally) then there's no option for painters on Linux.

Maybe that's the point why this application obviously does attract some people (see other comments) but is not the right thing for you. Different targets, different needs, different tools, all fine with that.

Quoting: GuestSo no, I don't need MyPaint, it's not a good fit for any serious artist. Why the hell are you even writing about it on a gaming site? Infinite canvas? Infinite as in lags and then crashes if you zoom out too much and the canvas becomes too big, that kind of infinite? What a joke.

As already pointed out by somebody else above, please do report your findings with the different programs. (Especially the banding in Krita does look disappointing to me. And crashes are a no-no.) My experiences with reporting bugs to open source projects are varying from "no reaction in years" to "fixed in the repository the same night", but give it try. If not for you, then for generations to come. ;)

Good luck with your art, whichever system you're using to make it!

Quoting: DuncA subscription service is an interesting idea though, if it means you can try them out before buying outright. It all depends on the pricing, really.

As said above, imagine you didn't follow the game grow, then you're sitting in front of a ridiculously long list of stuff and no idea what actualy are these "half-a-dozen “real”, game-altering, DLC packages" you might want. It's like you need to solve a puzzle before you are "allowed" to buy the game.

Actually, I heard my favourite let's players (Gametube) talk about this problem today: One said when he sees such a list of DLCs, he's got no idea what he needs and what not... and goes back to playing some DOTA. :D

One more thing, I'm unclear about
"What is your favourite game that has seen support for a long time on Linux?"
Does the "support for a long time" mean something like continual updates,
or is it just about the all-time favorite on Linux?

Two possible improvement for the pages:
* Have a "go to next caategory" button on the category pages.
* It is absolutely mandatory that "Absolute favourite game for Linux" comes last, not first! :p

Quoting: The_AquabatLiam ... Battletech Heavy Metal DLC is missing in the dropdown list.

BTW, where is this data taken from?

Quoting: The_AquabatIMHO Shadow Of Mordor should be added to best update received in 2019, for their Vulkan Support.

You can add stuff yourself!

Yeees!
Have been looking for that just yesterday!
<3 for Application Systems Heidelberg [External Link].
And if you are into point and click and didn't yet play Lamplight City, give it a go!
I loved how they made your decisions count, and still not have dead ends.
