Krita or MediBang?

[Depression]

Im searching for a software for drawing, not that im actually good at it, and i find myself to either go with Krita or Medibang and have no real idea what to choose, The only Programm i used so far was GIMP which is fine for drawings i guess but i never found myself really using it for that.
Krita doesn't demands to spend a fortune on it but what's the better choice from technical view? as a "beginner"

Both Krita and medibang are free and can be downloaded on their official websites respectively (in case you didn't know), As for which is generally more beginner friendly? I'd personally say medibang but that's MY opinion it really comes down to what tickles your fancy more and they both are great but medibang on one hand doesn't have cool brushes like krita along with some other things.

In short, medibang is way more simplistic and Krita offers alot more generally I'd say, hope this helps and happy drawing.

If you considering switching from Windows to Linux someday, (and want to draw stuffs in Android tablets too) then use Krita.
If you aren't, then Medibang, end of the story.

Why switching to Linux? does it run better there or what do you mean?

Mediabang is also available for Android ... and Apple. No idea how two compare feature wise, still learning Krita, it's sooo feature rich.
On Android table its desktop style UI doesn't work that well though.

objectively speaking, everything runs better in linux, because linux consumes less ram and resources than windows; that means more ram and video memory for your programs and games.

unless you need a very special software that only runs in windows, and isnt working through proton in linux, switching is a good idea; a better one is to begin finding replacements for windows exclusive programs that force you to pay rent, or that wont offer you a lifetime license for their annual version of their software.

some years ago, there were few alternatives, but that has been changing and there are more paid and free programs that work in linux that can replace many that could lock you in windows ecosystem (of doom) (tm).

I made myself multiple workspaces on android that I switch depending on what I am currently doing, like painting or just sketching (hides almost all docker). You can also customize the toolbar icons, so you have easy access to switch between workspaces.
