just for context, i've been daily driving this thinkpad z61m with windows vista sp2 for the past week and it's actually been pretty damn good lol. sorry, i just don't like linux that much. though i might post haiku in the future :3 also it's dual booted with XP Pro SP3 :p
GIMP is a jankfest.
Yeah it sure is and everyone who says it's a good replacement for photoshop is delusional. A more fitting replacement would be Krita.
Not sure what you mean. Most functions are available, except for AI enhanced functions of Photoshop. The UI is ultimately based on older versions of Photoshop. There will be some (potentially minor) learning curve to get away from the corpo option.
It's pretty straightforward. But support for Adobe seems hard to break.
If you support AI art, then yeah, definitely stick with Adobe, if GIMP is too much of an ask. Ultimately FOSS relies on people using it.
And, given the sub/community you have posted this in, maybe reevaluate your needs.
yeah that's fair, and I don't really mean the UI layout or anything, that's fine. I'm talking about the fact that everything feels buggy and slow, like it'll crash at any minute. I can't stand it. if you like using it, that's great, i just can't.
also I use a pirated copy of CS6
I never got the hang of GIMP; mtPaint is my go-to image editor.
Well tbh, I don't know the state of GIMP on Windows, but it definitely isn't designed for it. It should not be buggy or crashy -- at least it isnt on Linux. So I mean... Why Windows?
CS6 definitely runs on Linux via Wine. I've done through CS8. But again... There is little reason to do so assuming you're running GIMP on the intended platform.
Edit: not trying to be a dick either. Mostly just trying to nudge you to give both Linux and GIMP another chance. DM me if you want, happy to help.
i've run GIMP on Windows, Linux, Haiku even, felt the same either way. so like at this point I just don't care. and plus I use content aware fill, like, a lot. will not be using WINE, too much of a headache/
I mean... I guess I don't get it then. GIMP is incredibly stable, so
Edit: also, Haiku? BeOS was great but probably shouldn't play with Haiku until you're comfortable in Linux.
Edit2: I only mentioned Wine because that's how you would run CS6/8 on Linux. Wine also is not difficult.
