> Krita on Linux to paint shouldn't be expected to rebuild kernel modules. The other-side of the coin is that if your using Linux, you should expect that such things happen without your desire. And that if you wish for the previous feature you'll have to nose-dive in to if you want to fix or just revert back to the previous version. You shouldn't, but here we are. At the risk of downvotes, I would also say you shouldn't really need to update the kernel either. Unless there is really a feature required, or extreme-security vulnerability of your current version, exclude it. That was the past-beauty of Linux, you didn't need to be on $latest; that was Microsoft's realm, always requiring updates. If it worked you left it be for this exact reason. Every day I look at my iPhone and everyday there's a batch of updates for my apps sometimes twice on the same day for the same app and I don't use many. The current fearing update culture we live in is terrible. /vent

  Because Linux is a community ran, free. You can't demand a volenteer maintainer to keep it the way you like it. You either accept it, keep back/change or incentive the maintainer. If using the second button as a eraser is the de-facto feature, then it's likely it's going to be implemented the same everywhere else. Or could simply be the maintainer doesn't like his art work, a sadist and changed for the sake of pure evil. Either way you can't expect anything to stay as you like it if it's free. It's why forks/distributions exist.

    The catch is that this is antithetical to what Linux 'wants to be[0]'. Linux cannot become an every-man's desktop OS when issues like this are allowed to occur. [0]Or what at least some Linux evangelists want it to become

      True, Linux isn't every-man's desktop OS. Linux is just a kernel to create an operating system in the way the creator wants it to be. You either hook on that train, find another distribution that makes you happy or make your own. Maybe the author should change to another distribution that doesn't have the change applied.

  Because, as shown here, there's no real testing for this stuff. You're the forever-beta tester, fearing every update. This has always been my experience with Linux, but I also don’t buy computers, and peripherals, specifically for Linux, which seems to be a very heavy requirement for a good experience, as the perpetual year of Linux on the desktop has unrelentingly shown us through the decades.

Please define "linux" What happened to the author while using Fedora wouldn't have happened while using RedHat Enterprise Linux or any other distro with long term support of an existing kernel. Besides author can still boot with old kernel version.
