You're viewing part of a thread.
It's main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It's snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita's assistant tool. It's easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don't thinks there's anything that Firealpaca can do that's partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn't have a dark mode.
I'm not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Cheers. I use Krita myself, but I've heard people say "Krita is terrible; try FireAlpaca." I think that might be because it has performance issues on other operating systems; I'm not in a position to test. It's good to hear Krita is basically ahead on all fronts except learning curve. Nonetheless, it's nice to see a Linux version. FireAlpaca advertises a Dark Mode, but I'm guessing it's a paid-only feature.
I have my krita interface set up like firealpaca lol. The only feature krita missing now is the comic panel slicer tool.
Interesting. Can you explain how it works, please?
You can drag around windows or "Dockers" as they call them just like Photoshop and arrange them however you like. When you happy with the arrangement you can save it as a preset.
edit: Here's the workspace file for it if you want.
Oh nice. 👍
