recently I bought a Chromebook, I love it so much, it has Linux container enabled and I downloaded Firefox, GIMP, and Krita, but my Chromebook is only 64GB, so that can be a lot!!! So what web apps or low storage alternatives can I use?? I know Photopea, but what about drawing? Thank you!!
Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.
yes of course!! Thank you! But I also want a web app for drawing, Photopea is mostly for image editing.
I’m not sure what you mean. Artists use Photoshop for drawing, yet Adobe advertises Photoshop mostly for image editing. Even though Adobe advertises Photoshop for image editing, which should include fully editing your own photographs imo, the only proper Denoise AI is built into Lightroom lol. Photopea also supports pressure sensitivity, so it should work just fine for drawing. Tools aren’t that big of a deal. People who design beautiful presentation decks use PowerPoint after all… with the default system fonts.
KDE’s MS paint alternative is actually pretty decent, I believe it’s called Kolourpaint.
I’m also aware of Pinta.
thank you very much but is Kolourpaint a web app?? Because I don’t want to install anything from the Linux terminal!! I will use chromeOS with web apps.
Then why bother mentioning that you have Linux container enabled?
because I changed my mind on that, I’m very sorry!! It can be harmful to install through the terminal nya… Also I think it takes more memory and space if I install it like that, that’s why I installed Firefox with the Debian package yes!!
You mean a debian package like this one?
It’s not a webapp, I recommended them since you mentioned you wanted low storage alternatives in addition to webapps.
Idk what “container” means in this case, but gimp is only like 80 MB + some dependencies you probably already have installed. Do you mean RAM or HD memory? In any case it should be much less than 64 GB.
the Linux terminal of chromeOS is a virtual machine but it does affect chromeOS, as in everything that gets downloaded from the terminal will show up as applications of course!!
wait but there is one thing that I need to know!! The “Magma” version of Aggie gives you a commercial license, does that mean that the free version of Aggie will not let you do that?? So that means no commissions or selling your art?? Oh no!!
64GB is very, very low for even a phone these days. Usually web apps are even more heavy than regular ones.
Get more storage, a proper computing device or rent a VPS to connect via remote desktop.
Lazpaint might be worth a look. Also Mypaint
ChromeOS is a bad Platform that causes sick habits due to artificially low hardware standards.
Pinta is a good light drawing app. GIMP or Krita are both heavy for sure.
I disagree with that!! SD card fix for Chromebook!! Nya!
give azpainter a try, it’s what i used to use for drawing with a 2007 dual core laptop until not too long ago
heads up, the ui is kind of a mess, you most likely will have to re arrange it to your liking and there is a bit of a learning curve there, but it’s a pretty powerful piece of drawing/painting software nonetheless
Use Btrfs partition with compression, my entire arch install takes less than 6GiB on disk space, and I have gimp, inkscape and kdenlive installed: https://imgur.com/HofMHUJ.png
In fact I have the OS partition limited to 35GIB. And it should have been 25GIB or less.
