Graphite, an open-source Rust-based 2D graphics editor aiming to be the "Blender of 2D," has released its second desktop release candidate as a Flatpak for Linux. While previously only available in browsers, the desktop version offers similar functionality with better system integration, though users may need to disable UI acceleration to avoid blank window issues. The vector editing tools are mature, but raster editing remains experimental and disabled by default. Performance lags behind established tools like GIMP and Inkscape, particularly with smaller brush strokes, and the application is not yet stable enough for critical production work. The desktop build must be manually downloaded from the Graphite Discord and installed via Flatpak, with potential sandboxing considerations for file access.
