From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish the Inkscape team would make a raster option. GIMP is just lagging, and we need a solid pixel pusher.
Gimp just released 3.0 rc1.
Krita is good for illustrating and painting
Yeah that looked good. I just need a photoshop replacement with a modern UI
The thing is Photoshop does a lot of different stuff, like photo manipulation, painting, and pixel art. But it's not really the best at anything besides photo manipulation probably. So it depends on what you want to do with it.
I need to be able to edit photos, raw files, lossless options, with layers, and a wide selection of touch up tools that can be content aware.
Photoshop is perfect, but I’m not paying for a subscription to a product that I realistically don’t need updates for.
I’d be totally fine using my old copy of photoshop CS if it would run anymore.
Gimp just had a lot of odd UI choices.
Darktable
Rawtherapee?
I'd also have a look at Darktable.
This would complicate the code behind Inkscape and the user interface a lot. It's not just having an option to enable raster editing, the entire program must be rewritten, because its not designed to do raster editing. If they started with raster editing, it would be lacking too and the horrors from users would never end. I rather want Inkscape stay focused to what its doing best.
Either use GIMP or Krita. There are already excellent or good enough image editing tools.
You have checked Krita? I'm not doing much so it's more than enough for me.
Yeah, but it’s a little too much about illustration for me. It’s great for that! I just need more of a pixel pusher.
