Past days I did a spring cleaning on my computer ( spring cleaning on my web portfolio too ) .
I reviewed last Arch, Chakra, Suse , Debian to be informed about actual systems . My choice stopped again* on
Kubuntu , for the 12.04 LTS . Faster, cleaner and polished, I get totally seduced by it. The default artworks ( login screen -picture above- ; and wallpaper are also fresh and clean ) . Good job Kubuntu team !
It's also the first distribution where you can install in few minutes a full functional workstation directly from the "Software center" . It has wacom tablet support plus Mypaint 1.0 , Krita 2.4, Blender 2.62, Inkscape 0.48.3 and Gimp 2.6.12 with not any single line of terminal to install.

As you probably know I switched since 3 month mostly all my digital painting workflow to the open source Krita. The new Krita 2.4 will be out really soon now ( by the end of month ). So, in a near future, everyone will be able to install it with the regular package manager of his/her Linux distribution. Very exiting time to know it because Krita 2.4 is in my opinion ready for production work. But to reach this quality, the Krita team worked really hard. So, I wanted to blog a bit about an old Krita challenge and my relation with the project. Back on a bit of history ....
