I've been using gimp for as long as I can remember using Linux since 2000. The interface has changed so much lately that I can barely use it. I can't find half the controls anymore.

Well, I don't know if it'll be maintained long term considering the disclaimer at the top of the README, but the PhotoGIMP plugin has always kept the interface consistent for me, and I've had it installed working well for 3.5 years now.

Least toxic Linux thread

Ah, the elitist GIMP crowd. The most toxic OSS community. Those are the same people who won’t do any gaming on Linux because they refuse to install proprietary software. They’re all sweaty middle-aged men with unwashed asses, neck hair thicker than their chest hair, and an allergy to women who are allowed to speak.

Yeah I have an alternative to gimp

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Always has been, and I am using Linux since 1993 (my first install was kernel 0.99, on floppies, on a 486DX50)

Can't go back that far, but this reads like the first few responses from a question asked in #slackware on IRC.

My problem with gimp is that I've never really used Photoshop (I may have back in it's very early versions, but I don't think so). I mostly just use something like Ms paint to take and crop screenshots or photos. Jumping into gimp (and presumably PS as well) is going to confuse people trying to do that.

I still don't know how to use gimp just because I never need all that functionality and don't have time to learn. Maybe someday.

Kolourpaint is exactly like mspaint but on linux. It's perfect for everything from simple to intermediate tasks

[-] shalva97@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Windows paint is actually better. Maybe that's why they banned his account

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
