I've also found Krita to be unsatisfactory for drawing pixel art. Select the pixel art brush and set it to be 3px wide, then draw a rectangle with the rectangle tool. This creates a rectangle with inexplicably jagged edges (http://0x0.st/HWyi.jpg http://0x0.st/HWyi.jpg). Turn off sharpness for the brush and try again, it seems to work now but selecting the background color with the similar color selection tool will reveal that the jagged edges are still present but very faint (http://0x0.st/HWyz.jpg http://0x0.st/HWyz.jpg). All of this happens with a 3px brush but not a 2px brush. It's bizarre. I suppose most digital painters don't notice/care about this, but it's a deal breaker for me.
I dislike the Krita icons as well. I would like colorful icons so my eyes can scan them quickly but some halfwit designer got it in their head that all the icons should be monochrome and there doesn't seem to be any way I can choose or create other icon themes.
I really want to like Krita, but it just doesn't work with me. All I really want is "MS Paint but with layers" but that's evidently too much to ask on Linux. I've tried more than a dozen painting programs and they're all disappointing.

The exception is for pixel art, Aseprite works fine for me. https://imgur.com/a/88N1QKd https://imgur.com/a/88N1QKd Example of it on Linux with a decent theme.
- mcpackieh 3y agoThanks for the Aseprite suggestion, I initially overlooked it due to the license and neglected to reconsider it after exhausting my FOSS options. This is indeed pretty good.
