GIMP is still missing a way to draw a circle without some convoluted method. It won’t work for my needs currently.


Paint.net for Linux. Most of my experience with making art digitally came from paint.net and there’s not really a good alternative that doesn’t require me to recreate my workflow from the ground up (Krita).
Pinta is technically an option, but it’s missing many of the features that modern paint.net has.
For now, I have to make do with a VM to run it.
Arch Linux (BTW) is my main/dev OS, but also Windows 10 VM for certain projects.
For simple scripting in any language: VSCodium
PyCharm, Android Studio for projects in specific languages.
For other full projects: VSCodium
As for testing/deploying projects, I have a QEMU dev VM that’s connected to my IDEs using shared folders running basic Arch with fresh install of KDE Plasma.
Plugins mainly consist of QoL features, linting for certain languages in VSCodium, themes, etc.
