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.

You are on to something. I have seen many videos about gimp & krita vs Photoshop. All the vidoes just compared them by treating Photoshop as the gold standard and ANY difference was points off. Even jiat changing what the hot keys did.

Why, well thet often compair drawing times and changing from ctrl+t to ctrl+w slows them down.
