Nope, portuguese

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.

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

…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?

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.

Is there a LibreOffice-like-thing for Android?

Remember kids, don’t hesitate to use the “elitism” card when you’re loosing an linux argument

I didn’t realise it was a competition. BTW, how do someone loose an argument? By making generic points? By making it less specific?

Sure, whatever. I have no horse in this race, I just enjoy watching the meltdown over an OS.

Talking like a true believer, thank you for making my point.

Religion is about shit that is not real

“Year of Linux on Desktop”

“Better than Windows”

“Linux is easy”

“You never need to use the terminal”

“Everything you need runs on Linux”

“Android IS Linux, therefore is the most popular OS”

Yeah, sounds like religion to me.

So, exactly like a religion.

Appimages are awesome for the regular user. Single file, just double click to run anywhere. Snap and Flatpak should die a quick death and all the work should be used to improve Appimages. There’s no other concept for the end user as simple and clear as this.
