...and it's been pretty alright! Here's a small breakdown of my experience so far if you're curious about it, or maybe in a similar situation.
My primary thing is drawing, and that goes flawlessly! I was already using Krita with some Blender here and there, so the transition was seamless - just straight up getting the same software and using it the same way.
When it comes to general image editing, it's a bit less flawless. I was using Affinity Photo for that, but Wine doesn't like it for now, so I gotta use something else. GIMP is unfortunately pretty awful, so that's out too. For now I've just been using Krita for that, but it's not really suited for things that aren't drawing. Gotta figure something out!
I do vector art sometimes, and the situation is similar since I used Affinity Designer before. Thankfully this time the alternative is much better! Inkscape is a pretty competent program, though it does have a few very confusingly lacking features. It overall does the job tho!
3D graphics are a slightly mixed bag: the main ingredient, Blender, is amazing! Equally amazing is Material Maker, which a lot more people should hear about, which lets you procedurally create materials, akin to Substance Designer. In a lot of ways I think it does things better than designer too! The spot that seems the sorest to me is painting textures. I don't really wanna touch Adobe stuff (and I'm not sure if it works in Wine). There's a program called ArmorPaint, but I've heard mixed things about it and I didn't try it out yet cause it's a bit hard to access (paid binaries or compile yourself). Quixel Mixer seems to work in Wine, so for now I'll go with that (is this still in development?)!
For a pixel art bonus, Aseprite works just fine =w=
