Setup route
Follow the linked maintainer documentation for installation, connection settings and supported versions.
Krita 5.2+, Python 3.8+ and the companion plugin; advanced pixel/history tools need the documented native helper.
Limitations
Pixel and history capabilities have stricter Linux Krita 6.0.4 Qt6/helper requirements than the basic tools.
