Switched from Procreate to Krita for one month and my lineart got way cleaner

Tweak the brush stabilization settings in Krita's brush editor, that's usually the culprit for cleaner lines. Procreate's default smoothing is pretty heavy so you probably had to compensate at first in Krita. Turn on the "smoothing" option and play with the stabilizer and filter values until it matches what you're used to. Also the "delay" slider is a game changer for getting smooth curves without the wobbles.

@victor_carr25 Not sure I agree with you there, man. The delay slider makes things feel sluggish and laggy to me. I turn that thing all the way down. The stabilizer settings are nice but they introduce their own weird jitter sometimes. I actually turned off most of Krita's smoothing and just learned to draw quicker strokes. Works better for me. Procreate's smoothing is heavy but it feels more natural, like real pen resistance.

I hear you on the delay slider being sluggish, it took me a good week to find a setting that didn't feel like I was drawing through honey. But honestly, once I dialed it in just a tiny bit, like around 20-30%, it completely killed the wobbles for me. And yeah, the stabilizer jitter is real, I had to tweak the filter amount down to like 5 before it stopped doing that weird thing. But combining a low delay with a light filter gave me the cleanest lines I've ever gotten in Krita, way better than Procreate's smoothing for my hand.
