I'm considering switching to Linux for a more customizable experience and to escape the problems I've been having with Windows. I currently use Krita for drawing, but I'm really hoping to continue using Medibang Paint Pro since it's my go-to tool. Is there a reliable way to run Medibang on Linux? I'm concerned about potential bugs or compatibility issues, especially with my graphics tablet. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Another route you could consider is setting up a virtual machine with Windows using something like VirtualBox. That way, you can run Medibang and other programs that are Windows-specific without dealing with compatibility issues on Linux.
It's rated as platinum on WineHQ, so it should work pretty smoothly with Wine, I think! It’s a good option if you're looking to run Medibang on Linux without much hassle.
I've used Krita, Gimp, and even FireAlpaca successfully on Linux for over a decade. FireAlpaca is derived from Medibang and runs natively with AppImages now, so you might like that too!
That's cool! But for Medibang specifically, have you faced any bugs? How does it work with graphics tablets? I'm really concerned about that part.
You definitely have options! Wine is a solid choice, but you could also check out alternatives on [AlternativeTo](https://alternativeto.net/software/medibang-paint/?platform=linux). A lot of folks recommend exploring those alternatives!
Yeah, I do that for Adobe Creative Suite since getting it to work on Linux is a nightmare. Just grab the Windows ISO and you should be good to go!
