Open Source Texture Painting / Mudbox Install
I know Mari and Mudbox are avalible for linux and I do have a mudbox licence but the licencing causes issues when installing:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
mudbox2012: /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/FLEXnet/bin/FNPLicensingService exists in filesystem
mudbox2012: /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/FLEXnet/bin/install_fnp.sh exists in filesystem
mudbox2012: /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/FLEXnet/bin/toolkitinstall.sh exists in filesystem
This is installing PKGBUILD with pacman -U in arch linux but seems to run ok...

my friend and work colleague has been involved in its development....its pretty cool, we have already used in film production on linux boxes.
There is a windows version too, but its a little buggy

I am aware of Krita, but I have never tried it as I didn't want to install all the KDE dependencies, but I might instal andl have have a play around, but isn't this is only for flat texture painting i.e. onto a 2D canvas. Its nice to know its been used in film production though!

I guess I will continue to use blender for this then as it seems to work quite well. I will also give Krita a try and maybe it will become a permanent member of my tool set along with mypaint and the very frustrating GIMP
EDIT: Jay, I have a 'quick' question if you have a moment to spare...
How much is linux used in film production, what are its main uses, software and distros used and is it beneficial having knowledge of linux when applying for a job in film/VFX?
