KDE Plasma is the ideal operating system for you with native support for drawing tablets and many small features tailored for artists.

Neutral color support
Plasma allows you to use a desaturated dark theme.
Preview support for all your images

It is mainly about more options for the tablet settings, options to set up a neutral colored theme, thumbnails for your artwork source files and easier file type association and 'open with' menu, better support for multi monitor workflow and perfect desktop integration with my core application: Krita and Kdenlive.
