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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I've tried using GIMP and it absolutely sucks and I wish there was a good paint.net replacement.

    Something I found about a lot of open source projects is that the UI is always terrible

    Krita is pretty good.

    https://www.pinta-project.com/ based on older version of paint.net source code.

    I do get, why people dislike GIMP. It has a bit of a steep learning curve. And approaches things uniquely.

    But for a FOSS paint equivalent: have you tried Pinta? It's much less complicated, and the UI isn't too bad.

    Based on the screenshots I see, it looks a lot better. I'll give it a try, thanks!

    I use https://www.photopea.com/. It is an online editor and never disappointed me.
