Description ca3 2020-03-23 22:05:00 UTC
SUMMARY
There's really poor quality of the pen stroke using Lubuntu 19.10 and using a Parblo A609 Pen Tablet.
Any random stroke suddenly isn't clean but can end up having a random stroke attack and create a really poor line.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I attach a video of the stroke results.

Can you please check Configure Krita -> Tablet Settings -> Tablet Tester. Do the artefacts appear there as well?

Also do you use a repository version or the appimage? If you're not using the appimage, please try it.

Can confirm the artifacts don't appear under tablet Tester.

Also I'm using the Ubuntu sudo apt install command (Lubuntu 19.10).

Please try the appimage instead (https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/4.2.9/krita-4.2.9-x86_64.appimage) . We apply a lot of patches to Qt to improve they way Qt handles tablets.

Can confirm the quality of the line is greatly improved, however there still a very few artifacts on the stroke, but very few.

It's much better line quality with the appimage binary.

Okay, then there is nothing we can do, other than recommending that distribution patch Qt.
