vector tools (although not perfect can be helpful.highly customizable ( you can change most of the shortcuts).shift+drag to quickly increase and decrease the brush size.Assistant tools (a bit buggy but gosh vanishing point assistant tool can be a life saver).
Please note all this time I said brush tips, to use them you will need to create new presets(in krita you create a new one by changing an existing preset and saving it with another name). from what i tested it also accepts older photoshop brushes(only tips not presets) but i couldn't import anything from cs5 onwards. I could probably live with using the terminal but it's just too complicated for new and unexperienced users who just want to draw and I want everyone to be able to paint.Well first of all i want to point out that krita accepts gimp brush tips and png tips (like medibang), so this opens up to a lot more brushes to use. If all fails and nothing happens in the next release I can see that I'm writing the Program myself, probably just GUI front-end for xsetwacom for a start. Or we should request it as a feature on the Krita bugtracker. Maybe they can take tablet configuration into Krita or something because Krita itself gets hard to use if tablets don't work with the system. I don't know if he still works on that project but I think I'm going to write him and ask for help. I'm not only an artist but also a developer and was on the verge of writing a program to configure the tablet myself but I don't want to write the tools, instead I want to use as much of my spare time as I can to paint. I once wrote to the developer of wacom-setting and it seems that there where some problems with QT and plasma and the package is no longer maintained or developed as you can see here I find it alarming that tools like wacom-setting keep disappearing from the distros because it makes it very hard to use them professionally. On the top of the Manjaro OS you'll find XFCE, or KDE or GNOME ( a lot of spin exist ) with customised theme and colors. Rolling-release-system are still a bit dangerous. I already was a Manjaro user for a long period, and I had issue with a system upgrade. But I need to spend month in it to see how it's behaves on long terms. So far, I spent only 8 days painting with this and the default Krita 3.0 package of Manjaro, and it's well packaged. They have their own repo ( more or less mirrored from Arch stable ) and as far as I understood do system upgrades a bit differently from Arch.
KRITA OR OPENCANVAS 7 INSTALL
Manjaro is similar to ArchLinux for the technologies ( using pacman / AUR / compatible with the Arch wiki ), but has an installer, script to install newer kernels, a add/remove app GUI app, and script for proprietary gfx driver. Wacom support in Manjaro is non-existant. What a regression! In 2011 I was able to do all of this via GUI within the same desktop environment and even on 2007 or 2008 the wacomcpl was managing this for all desktop. I also now configure my tablet with xsetwacom from command line and install a dedicated displaćAL to calibrate colors. I also tried to build the wacom-setting for KDEplasma5, I saw a branch for it, but it wasn't updated since last autumn and refused to even build on my side. I have same observation as the one you describes for the test with last 'buntus.
