Krita's splash screen gets worse

I thought it wouldn't get any worse after the last splash screen in Krita.

Then, I hit up that Terminal to update my copy of Lubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10 (I was expecting to upgrade to 20.04 but I wasn't able to do that.)

I open Krita to remake an character asset from Battle For BFB (or more specifically The Power Of Two, it was PDA) to see this:

It is LEGITIMATELY WORSE than the previous art, and it's even MORE appalling as a professional anime hater. At the very least, the previous art had the mascot robot squirrel look like a robot squirrel!

I also found out that I can disable the splash by using the tag --no-splash, but it's inconvenient to have to open the Terminal every time I want to sketch stuff and hope not to lose my train of thought of what I was drawing in the first place and place more stress on my computer's meager 4GB of DDR3 RAM opening up Chrome and heading back to reddit to remembet what I was trying to draw.

Why would you have to open the terminal to disable the splash screen? It should be possible to add that parameter to the shortcut you're using with the same effect.
 
Minox, i run Linux, so I can't just change the shortcut of an item on the desktop (in fact, the DE I primarily use, Budgie, doesn't let you put icons on the desktop.), so the only solution is that parameter.

cpg, get out of my blog-

Why would the splash screen bother you that much? It doesn't really seem to affect how the software functions.
 
Lodad, it's literally the first thing I'm forced to see when booting up Krita, and as much as I hate the splash screen, everything else is fine and it's my daily driver art program after not being able to get to grips with Pinta and losing access to modern versions of Paint.net by switching to Linux. To minox, sure it's possible, but as I said, it's inconvenient as hecc.
As for bepis, I don't have budgie plank, only the budgie PANEL, which is different, according to this article: https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/put-icons-on-budgie-panel/447
 
I personally hate Krita too.
It's a piece of shit just like GIMP and it's newer stable builds.
Use Sketchbook instead mother fucker. It's good shit.

Dang, I just recently started trying Krita out and I really like its brushes and interface. Is Sketchbook really that much better (and free)?
 
I don't know how and if you can edit the application menu in your DE but in KDE I can change the commands for programs with kmenuedit, putting an alias command in your bashrc or whatever your shell has would work too when starting it in command line
 
cool story, extrasklep. now I just gotta sign into all of my chrome stuff again in kde plasma 5 since I have that installed alongside budgie
