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.

don't know if this is of any help to anyone except maybe past me, but i had a hard time finding the correct Public Key to verify the current Krita AppImage: So what finally worked was gpg --import this Public Key here https://files.kde.org/krita/dmitry_kazakov.gpg and gpg --verify krita-5.2.9-x86_64.AppImage.sig then gpg says Good signature (fingerprint: E9FB 29E7 4ADE ACC5 E303 5B8A B69E B4CF 7468 332F). Anyway (>' v ')> here is a drawing i made using my laptops wonky touchpad.

if you're worried about the integrity of the sources you're installing from why are you using app images? Use a repo, or flathub

Where did you download krita from?

[–] mactan@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ah i meant i downloaded the signature from download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.9/, just wanted to make sure that the Krita AppImage i had was legitimate

Look at the properties of the file in dolphin. It will show you various file ~~signatures~~ checksums.

Do they not provide an md5sum? I've never seen anyone check an app's integrity issuing public keys

[–] nonanomalus@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i couldn't find the md5sum s for the current version, i saw they do provide some for older versions https://download.kde.org/Attic/krita/5.2.0/, but they do have GPG Signatures .sig files at https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.9/ for the current version
