2. Be civil
  • 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, 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.

    I dunno if it was you asking the question or not but ^^;; if you want some decent replacements for gimp I recommend krita, it's more Photoshop like and honestly it's my go-to however there is also photopea which is a browser editor that I heard is actually pretty good, and if you're on Mac or Windows (if so I dunno why you'd post here XD) I recommend the Affinity suit, it's cheaper than Photoshop and it's a one time payment instead of a subscription.

    I was just lurking, but I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I like your use of the ^^;; and XD emojis :3

    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.

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

    GIMP is already a suitable requirement

    Affinity really needs to start making official Linux ports. It’ll work in Wine, but is a bit janky.

    [–] Drummyralf 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I really, REALLY hope canva won't screw up affinity.

    [–] Veraxus 1 points 7 months ago

    Oh fuck. I didn’t realize they’d been bought… let alone by another god-forsaken cloud-subscription-based business model.

    Affinity is as good as dead.

    GIMP needs more macros to do basic things. Like dont add more tools, but have a button "textmarker" that automatically selects all the things.

    Is this possible via plugins?

    This is just like documentation 2.0
