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.

Wow! I have been looking for gimp alternatives or specific ways of doing things on gimp, compared to photoshop and most answers have been very honest and helpful!

Even gimp development team are open for suggestions but won't consider them before releasing version 3 that should release 'very soon'

Photopea dot Com is pretty solid and it's a website not a download. Has good complexities for the non profesional that wants to do more but doesn't need or want photoshop.

A person shows up in a room full of random people. Punches one in the face and starts swinging at everyone else. People instinctively start to defend themselves and, as they are more numerous, overwhelm and badly wound the instigator. OP walks into the room, "everyone in this room is so violent, look everyone, they are so violent". People outside the room hearing OP, "yeah, I bet anyone like them is just as violent".

“GIMP = Epic POS. Do not use. Please recommend a decent alternative. Don't waste your time with GIMP help because I am done.”

The amount of times I see, "Have you tried just googling it?" As a response to a tech issue is too damn high.

The best part is seeing those answers in threads that I got to by googling my question.

"Thank you for your helpful advise of 'just Google it' I've now found dozens of threads with that exact same answer to the question I have."

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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. 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.
