Hi everyone 👋

I’m a Fedora Linux user transitioning from Figma to Penpot because I want a fully open-source design workflow.

I’ve started exploring Penpot and would love advice from experienced users:

• Recommended workflow adjustments coming from Figma

• Performance tips on Linux

• Features I should learn early

Really excited about the project!

Hi @_Devkay 👋 Welcome!

Great timing, I recently re-recorded a tour of Penpot (in under 5 minutes) that covers the features you need to get started (in my opinion!)

I’m not a Linux user, but I’m sure there are some other folks on here that can give you performance tips.
