maybe you can find what you're looking for here?

Every new version of Krita is, obviously, more optimized than previous versions. An Intel NUC is, obviously, never going to give you good performance; that's not what those tiny low-power little computers are made for.

Is there some kind of repeatable benchmark for testing performance users could run? I find the brush performance adequate, but obviously anything short of 0 lag is less than ideal from a painter's POV . What's slow for one is OK for another, so could we users do something to provide more objective data on what painting performance is like?

The thing with my NUC is that it ran Krita from Debian Jessie just fine before I hosed the system. All the latest release seems to put a heavy load on it. Would anyone know why the one in Debian repo crashes at start up? That problem has been there for ages. I mean, I'm assuming it's just not supported any longer. Thanks for all your input so far.

Yes, the one in the debian repo is 2.8.5, or 2.7, don't quite recall. But thankfully, there seems to be a debian repository maintainer who is working on bringing Krita 3+ to the repository.

Go to the performance tab in settings, toggle 'openGL logging' and 'performance logging'. One will make an ugly openGL number show in the topright and spit out the frames per seconds the canvas is going at into the terminal or debugview. The other will generate log files for the brush cursor. It's best to compare two different Krita versions.

That's good to know! I appreciate the info very much. Thank you.
