I bet it’s not only RAM, your CPU is probably weak to

A good CPU and plenty of RAM are mandatory yes.

But so few RAM allocated to won’t help.

On a computer with 10GB RAM, on big images, by allocating 8GB instead of 2, even with a CPU that is not a formula 1, you can get better results.

Slow save and lag pencil

Hey, a large part of why krita lags on your system is because you have too little ram. Ubuntu 32bit is only able to give Krita around 3 gb of ram(this is a limitation of 32bit systems, and why we came up with 64bit to begin with), while you have 16 on your computer in total(and are only giving 1.8 gig to krita to use). 3gb is a bit little for the image size you are making. Since a few versions ago, we changed Krita so it makes a copy of your document when saving. This is a much more robust app…

Hardware priority for Krita

There’s two types of things a computer does: calculations and moving around data. Within Krita, the latter is most common. Thus the most important thing is lots of fast ram. The pixelbrush is multithreaded, as are many filters and parts of animation, and wherever else we can stick in threads and get performance gain. So a lot of cores is useful as well. Graphics card isn’t that important for Krita, more useful for Blender and Godot(and even there, anything reasonably recent can give plenty of …
