How to install Krita 3.3.2 released on Ubuntu 17.10, 18.10

   Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.

  •     concept art

Krita 3.3.2 Changelog:
fixes two important regressions:

  • Performance: Improve performance when using the hardware-accelerated canvas
