I'm a non IT user interested in usability. I left Windows 7, on my home PC, over 10 years ago, as Linux has a good selection of Desktop Environments to choose from. So I get to try different ways of working. Windows has loads of tweaks. But no serious alternative desktops. Work PC is Windows only sadly.
Yes. Sure. I see. Thanks. Maybe I was too focussed. Non IT people are nerdy too.
Lol ok
Not great to laugh at the mess Linux is in, due to people paddling in different, incompatible, directions. Users can't choose the package format. They have to take what they are given. Good or bad. I don't care which format. As long as it works. But this is a good way to scare more people off of Linux.
Dolphin has tabs, split screen, a real tree, plus a whole load of other useful productivity features.
Some were complaining GIMPs text and shapes were hard to use. I put text on images in Inkscape. Inkscape is ideal for that, having all the tools to use on top of a pasted image.
Yes. Pinta and Paint.net are often the best solution for lots of tasks. They will need help too.
GIMP has come from nothing just on donations. As I can get results as good as PS very quickly, that is quite a feat. And soon v3 will be out with more goodies.
Ecosia search. For the trees. Think of the trees.
Digikam for import, Management, batch processing, tagging and albums. From in DigiKam I launch RawTherapee for raw, Gimp for edits, and Hugin for panoramas.
Maybe the guide is not intended for some beginners after all?
Yes. I'm happy with the performance of the Kdenlive video editor on my weedy laptop with no GPU, 8gb ram, running Kubuntu. I did 20+ hour long videos for a conference no problem.

Businesses around the world, who have no idea what a few people use the term gimp to mean, are no different. The name makes no difference to them. To most people around the world, gimp means that photo editor.
