Krita is already in the Debian repositories. Shouldn’t we just use that instead of the flatpak?

its not in raspbian buster, bullseye, or stretch @Rak1ta you have linked to the main pool which includes all raspbian releases. (remember raspbian is ONLY armhf)

I'm not sure which raspbian release it is in, but its in none of those. it might even be just a broken package orphaned in the repo

it is in the debian official repos as ryanfortner pointed out BUT for ARM64 only, no armhf deb.

so this will probably say an ARM64 only app, whether that be through the deb or flatpak

ARM64 only app

flatpak install flathub org.kde.krita Checked on: RaspiOS 32bit Debian10

So I suggested flatpak

[theofficialgman]

flatpak is ARM64.. all flatpaks are now. there is no support for armhf in flatpak since about 1-2 years ago or so

Actually, I believe (not totally sure) that Flatpak itself still supports arm32 packages, but Flathub stopped building them because the server costs were too high.

flatpak, the format, is still arm32 compatible, yes. however, all the runtimes (gnome and everything based on it, and freedesktop and everything based on it) have decided to not build for arm32 anymore

flathub also won't let you upload new arm32 flatpaks to their servers

would love to see it.

I personally use Krita. I can confirm that a Flatpak installation of Krita does indeed work for me at least. Having Krita as part of pi-apps would be nice IMO.
