What is Lorien?
Lorien is an infinite canvas drawing/note-taking app that is focused on performance, small savefiles and simplicity. It's not based on bitmap images like Krita, Gimp or Photoshop; it rather saves brush strokes as a collection of points and renders them at runtime (kind of like SVG). It's primarily desinged to be used as a digital notebook and as brainstorming tool. While it can totally be used to make small sketches and diagrams, it is not meant to replace traditional art programs that operate on bitmap images. It is entirely written in the Godot Game Engine.

Comments and Reviews
Even being still in early stages, it is already a great piece of software that helped me greatly in software development. Infinite canvas, fast, easy to remove (and move) stuff because every stroke is a separate object. Changeable background, brush tip size, stroke color. Version 0.6.0, latest to this date, has added rebindable shortcuts and fixed drawing small details. Like, what else do you need? Fix some more issues, like render the output SVG properly, and it's perfect. If you don't need that svg of perfect quality, only a virtual blackboard (whiteboard?.. im confused), then Lorien is fully usable.
I've used Lorien for quite a while to plan out tons of different projects. It's an amazing infinite offline whiteboard that works really well with drawing tablets and pens.
Fast, easy to use and simple. It has an infinite canvas but does not have the option to paste images in the canvas yet.
Current version: 0.6.0
Well, the app is cool. But Excalidraw does the same things, only better. And Inkscape does the same things as well if it's an SVG building activity.
Lorien is in the middle of the road, not an SVG editor, nor an Infinity Board for us to put our ideas on.
It's like a notepad in relation to Word. On his terms, obviously.
Uninstalled.
Till now the best option for Linux
