Extra Note: for NixOS Users, or anyone having issues getting the brushes to load:

libpng may truncate iTXt Metadata, which isn't great! I think this is a problem with Krita itself, so this fix may apply if you are having problems with other brushes too. (no promises tho)

SOLUTION: Recompile libpng with this patch (Thank you Shiryel 👑):
