    Vectors are indeed slow. XP Every line, shape, and effect is stored as a mathematical equation that describes how to do each, and when there are a lot of them, it hammers on your CPU. ;P

      yeah, and if you don't have enough practice making every line individually its a pain too lol..

        Also sucks if you're stuck with Intel Integrated Garbage- erm, "Graphics," like I am. XP Eh, it's workable, but... :B I work in raster anyways. Krita, to be exact. XP

          mm Krita feels too slow for me, even with discrete gpu. Maybe my problem are the drivers ¬_¬

          • Link

            I know some of the old 2.x releases were slow with some drivers (not to mention AMD/nVidia driver releases tend to be spotty :U), and it still has a few problems with AMD CPUs which can kinda be worked around, by the looks of it (Settings -> Configure Krita -> Performance -> Disable vector optimizations, specifically labeled "for AMD CPUs." XP). What are you using, by the way? Just curious. :U

            • Link

              Well, I'll check first if Krita has new updates then. For art, my favorite is SAI because is pretty fast and straightforward :P but I tend to use others also.. I'm on w10 pc with a i7 cpu and nvidia card.

                If you're used to SAI's line adjustment sorcery, stick with SAI. XP I just prefer to stay away from proprietary toolsets (I even do my drawing exclusively on Debian). :U

                  I try to not depend on a sole tool and yes krita is awesome (even more because his license). Its just the last releases that i'm having problems with sadly

                  Interesting. So, do you recommend Debian over other distros?

                  • Link

                    If you've used Linux before and can work around the driver issues, maybe. You'd probably want to stick with Linux Mint if you're new. If you're more experienced with Linux, I'd recommend Arch Linux as its very flexible and gives you mostly only what you need based on your specifications. Or for lunatics like myself, maybe try Gentoo- and yes, I have completed a Gentoo installation before. A very, very long and tedious Gentoo installation- it even gave a computer science student like me a headache! XP
