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.

Hey,

So I'm an artist who is desperately wanting to make Linux my daily driver. I am currently dual booting Linux Mint, and I've gotten to the point where I hate windows and resent having to use it, so I think I'm ready to make the switch.

But due to my job I still need these programs to function.

The first one: Toon Boom Storyboard Pro

This is industry standard. I do want to switch to blender for boarding but some studios require this program. Same with Toon Boom Harmony.

The second: Clip Studio Paint

I do use Krita, but it isn't quite there yet in terms of some of the functionality I need it for. It's getting there though!

Plz and thank.

If you have the right hardware, KVM with GPU passthrough.

You can follow a tutorial like this one.

This looks hard but I got two graphics cards and I am curious so I might give this a shot, thanks!

Do it! Gpu passthru can be a nightmare, but it also taught me the most about linux over the years.
