[SFW!] Krita + Linux Experiments + Future Concerns

I've long debated trying to transition my art style and workflow over to Linux eventually. With Windows systems getting increasingly worse to run on and my want for better privacy as a whole (I'm genuinely surprised at times that this page hasn't gotten nuked by Patreon :/), I find that it's best nowadays to transition to an OS that is a bit more power-user and 'odd'. Given recent events over the past month having possible negative effects in the future, I also have a genuine want / concern to also protect myself in the future. There might become a time where even this becomes nonviable, and that leaves me worried. Until such a time comes where I can no longer safely draw what I like, I will however continue to keep doing my best -- and looking out for others who do the same as well. I apologize if this is a bit heavier than my normal posts -- but I'm genuinely concerned for the safety of others like me at this point. Please, I hope you continue to keep enjoying.
