The best Sai alternative on linux is azpainter. Too bad they still haven't compiled it to run on windows yet.

Honestly I don't see a super big difference between the performance of Krita on Windows and Linux. Complicated color smudge brushes probably perform a bit better on linux. I think you should make sure to use the angle render engine.

I use a Ryzen 1600 and usually start painting on 4000x4000 resolution. Painting on Krita feels smoother compared to CSP to me.

I notice that a lot of really popular artists do well sticking to one particular niche, like for example drawing anthropomorphic or semi realistic animal /fantasy creatures or cute girls.

If any of you have a niche that you're really passionate about (animals, cute girls (or boys), landscapes, comics, etc) , it might be best to just invest your time studying subjects that help you become as good as you can in that niche.

/ic/ seems to think that you have to become a master of all trades in everything to "make it".
