   A real winner for graphic tablets !

   I use Mypaint since many years, for graphic palets worskhops with children , and I have just positive feelings about it. Many tools, rather easy to use, and great compatibility with my Wacom. Recommanded.

• What drawing app should I use>

  Mypaint is the most lightweight software ive used, but it doesnt have the same level of community support as krita, so some features may be lacking... Source: over 1 year ago

• Good god, this took me a week! What do you think? any feedback and time saving tips?

  Essentially, I've found the more time you have to spend spend learning the apps and/or using its tools, the less time you have to actually enjoy the art of creating. Try apps that cut down the friction between you and your art; Krita, MyPaint, etc. Would be my first suggestions since they're free, then maybe ArtRage, or Sketchbook Pro if money is not a concern.

• Add custom color palettes to GIMP and Inkscape

  Note: The .gpl format is also supported by Aseprite, Drawpile, Krita and MyPaint. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Simple Art Program for Linux (not professional program)

  Mypaint (http://mypaint.org/) is simpler to use than Krita. Krita can be 'simplified' a bit by closing some of the unnecessary docked tools on the right. Source: about 2 years ago

• Alternatives for Paint.net?

  Take a look at MyPaint or look here to see if something tickles your fancy. Source: over 2 years ago

• A note taking app that uses .txt?

  The only thing I know with half of those features that's discontinued is the old Darkroom app but that doesn't tackle some of the bigger compatibilities. Source: about 2 years ago

• I have trouble shutting my internal editor off

  Not sure if this is applicable, but if you're using Word or Scrivener or something, you may want to switch to a plaintext editor like Dark Room or Typora--something that won't underline your spelling and grammar mistakes. It doesn't even have italics or bold to get in your way. Dark Room is a little old, but I found it here: https://codex.jjafuller.com/books/dark-room/page/overview. Source: over 2 years ago

• Anyone use a plain text editor to write?

  I use DarkRoom. Full screen, no distractions, no "fancy" auto-formatting. Source: about 3 years ago
