Drawing
A simple drawing application for Linux.
This application is a basic image editor, similar to Microsoft Paint, but aiming at the GNOME desktop.
PNG, JPEG and BMP files are supported.
Besides GNOME, some more traditional design layouts are available too, as well as an elementaryOS layout. It should also be compatible with the Pinephone and Librem 5 smartphones.
