Hey,

So I’m an artist who is desperately wanting to make Linux my daily driver. I am currently dual booting Linux Mint, and I’ve gotten to the point where I hate windows and resent having to use it, so I think I’m ready to make the switch.

But due to my job I still need these programs to function.

The first one: Toon Boom Storyboard Pro

This is industry standard. I do want to switch to blender for boarding but some studios require this program. Same with Toon Boom Harmony.

The second: Clip Studio Paint

I do use Krita, but it isn’t quite there yet in terms of some of the functionality I need it for. It’s getting there though!

Plz and thank.

    To summarize, people say it’ll work with Wine which you can use bottles to configure. They also suggest using harmony instead too as that has a linux version specifically. However, on ubuntu you’ll have to install some libraries and use KDE plasma if you want a reasonable UI (for some reason).

    Looks weird to implement, and expensive to buy a new version in order to use it. Sorry. You should try running it through wine though if you can and again, bottles is a great program to make that easier if you go that way

    As for clip studio paint, looks like using wine with it can be hard and depending on the update, kinda trash. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=15102
