@stragu It was hardcore difficult; tablet support required editing many X11 files as root; digital painting software with a bit of features required to be compiled manually, and performance were attrocious... (Like Krita couldn't paint smoothly on a 500x500px canvas at this time). But it was also pure joy of hacking, and statisfaction to make it work; to find alternative in a world were no alternatives was the default. Nowadays it's much much easier and tools are great.
