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.

Right now I don’t think any really could. Graphite is aiming to do all things 2D which is very ambitious and if it plays out definitely can. Krita is interesting as a drawing platform but it contains a lot of things photographers need like intuitive adjust layers, it always feels like it could be a few updates away from being completely viable for photography.
Ah, Graphite. I forgot the name. Thanks!
