Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.

It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don’t have commercial software available on Linux so people won’t use it, so you don’t have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won’t be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

Sure, no problem. People get agitaded because it gets recommended over and over again, and gimp is a piece of software that does not deserve this kind of recognition, at all. It should either be completely revamped and get a new name, or completely forgotten in favor of better alternatives like Krita.

Oh,you want arguments? I’ll give you arguments:

• prehistoric interface.
• the stupid thing don’t have CMYK mode, the most basic thing needed if you work with graphics.
• lack of adjusting layers a.k.a. non-destructive editing.
• It will lock up and lose your work for apparently no reason. I lost a graphic due to a crash because I made the incredibly challenging action of changing a font. It also cannot handle big files at all.
• It’s so. Fucking. Slow.
• That stupid, infantile, childish, emotionally stunted name.

There’s more but I’m not in the mood of reliving the time I had with this turd.

“Oh but they have X features on the roadmap”. Yeah, and today is the year of Linux on desktop. I don’t care. I need a functional software now, not in some undisclosed future.

Gimp is a gigantic piece of shit that should never be recommended. Krita is the way, even Photopea is better.

I find your lack of Battletoads disturbing.

Wait. That’s no moon, that’s an hemorroid!

…

I’ll see myself out.

Got it, thanks!

OK… ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?

I missed that, my bad.

…until a botched update or a bug sends everything to the cloud, MS makes an about face saying oops my bad, then say it was fixed.

You know that’s not what “native” means, right? Nevermind, me moron can not read.

Yep. To me it was the lack of a working fingerprint reader.

ELI5?

I used to use and love miniflux, but then they migrated to Golang and PostgreSQL, neither which are supported by my shared hosting (namecheap).

I use Freshrss now.

+1 for nextdns, it allows me to track all the connection requests and it saves the logs on Swiss.

This will be a great pair to my quantum graphene notebook!

Because Apple set trends that the whole industry follows, and if nothing happens then every phone maker will bring this shit too.

I hate Gimp with passion not only because it has a clunky interface that never got better, but because it’s unreliable with big files. I lost many hours of work when trying to do the incredibly complex act of choosing a different font, only to see it crash and burn and lose all the changes.

Is there a LibreOffice-like-thing for Android?
