I tried out blender. Its a cool program and i am impressed to see 2d being implemented relatively well on a 3d program for now. However, it is more catered towards vector users (roughly speaking; even for a vector users it will be weird) and as a raster enjoyer who worked a bit with vector, i find some of the drawing functions weird.
TVpaint seems like an attractive future option, when i manage to get the money, since its a one time purchase and it does look Epic bacon. Perhaps i shall temporary pirate it, but i have to see how to pirate on linux using wine.
OpenToonz is not a good option. I personally dont like it, since the drawing engine is a bit weird.
Sadly, besides krita, there arent any good free options for now. Krita is alright, but its more focused on drawing then animating (they do update the animation functions every now and then doe). Its a bit like animating in Photoshop. Yeah, it has that function iirc (krita is a bit more complex in that matter), but you aint gonna use PS for animating now, are ya?
