From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

usually when it comes to graphic design work (i'm an open source graphic designer and mayhaps even programmer but) i use inkscape of course, and gimp totally. i've gotten very good and learned so many stuff, but something i enjoy about inkscape and gimp is the fact that they still use ctrl-z for undoing and ctrl-y for doing again!!! that's classic and very linux-like and is pretty much the software saying "we will NOT accommodate our keyboard shortcuts to make our software feel LIKE adobe products", because adobe and all proprietary graphic design software uses ctrl-z and ctrl-shit-z for undoing and doing, but linux prevails and keeps ctrl-y.

when i was drawing a bit of stuff in krita, i found out that the shortcut for undoing was ctrl-shift-z, i know why this was made, because they want to accommodate the adobe people, the ones that like windows and proprietary software, they want to appeal to proprietary companies, that shortcut showed me that. and that is why i feel like krita is trying to be an open source software dressed as a proprietary software.

it's like when that american german spy asked for 3 glasses of liquid but held his fingers in the "not german" way.

You know the standard across most editors is to use ctrl+shift+z, right? Have you never used a text editor? A game engine? An input field on a website?
