I’m thinking of buying a Pixel tablet secondhand for my wife who is a graphic designer. I’m trying to move her away from propriety software but I don’t any of any apps for graphic design on F-Droid. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    I believe Krita is on F-Droid and it’s my go-to program on desktop, tho I couldn’t get ot to work correctly on my phone or the outdated tablets I could get my hands on (it launched, but I was stuck on a part of the screen and couldn’t move, or close the window that opens at the start to create a document because the “close” button was outside my screen). so I don’t know how it’ll be on your tablet.

    That aside, I really didn’t find many open source Android apps for Graphic design. I sometimes use Pocket Paint, but it sucks and I only use it to make comically bad art for memes.

      I hope some enterprising dev takes it upon themselves to create an alternate Krita UI for touchscreens someday…🙏

      At least a customisable dock with buttons that all those very very common actions we use the keyboard for that has good auto-hiding behavior or something.

      It’s designed just for tablet, not phones. Maybe the old tablets can’t run it well enough, I’m not sure

    @SpiceDealer #PocketPaint is the best fdroid free version available. For tablet you can use #krita or for a one time small payment #InfintePainter all these have a layer support and image import edit etc. So it is good for artwork and even design work. These are my suggestions.

    Krita. I got a low end table and it works fine for my needs. Just be aware that you can’t intall plugging on android yet, and while you can animate, you can’t render the animation.

    You can make kirta work on a phone by increasing the dp inside the developer options in your phone.
