Terrible software with no good alternatives.
But it werks
>>108260071
>>108260071I only use this to save as .dds after editing in PS.
>>108260288That's got plenty of good alternatives
>>108260071Photoshop shits all over it. propriety doesnt matter when you pirate it
>GIMPGIMP is disgusting and I know anyone who says it’s usable or even “good enough” is full of shit. GIMP is a troll program (how does the name not give that away?) and you fell for it, the designer set out to make an obtuse interface and wagered people would still use it no matter how bad because they are either autistic or blindly devoted to opensource no matter how bad it is, the joke is on you, the joke is that you used and have a low enough IQ to recommend it to people.
>>108260411name one
>>108260617Works on my machine
>>108260071I'd just use inkscape instead
>>108260698Any one of a dozen linux distros.>inb4 nooooo I can't switch because I'm dumb
>>108260986If you have an NVidia GPU not a single linux distro allows you to install NVidia control panel, if you have an AMD GPU not a single linux distro allows you to install AMD Adrenaline. That's for the 'alternative'.Maybe linux needs another 35 years of development to become relevant enough for GPU manufacturers to care enough to write a working driver.
>>108261049Linux handles GPU drivers and settings differently, often through open-source tools, kernel integration, or distro-specific utilities. You don't need these exact Windows apps to get good GPU performance or control on Linux. Equivalents exist, and for most users, the built-in options work well without the bloat of proprietary Windows software.
Coming from paint.net every linux alternative is total trash, even pinta.Once I make a selection, it should automatically swap to the transform tool.Once I'm done with my selection, pushing escape should unselect.That's all I ask, that's all I want. Nothing on Linux works this way and it drives me up the fucking wall.
>>108261119This. I'm using Krita as an alternative but it's a hacky solution at best. I miss paint.net, it was the best software I had on Windows.
>>108261103>Linux handles GPU drivers and settings differentlywhen it comes to 3D settings like anti-aliasing, sharpening or low latency presets it doesn't handle them at all, you can adjust resolution and refresh rate if you are lucky>often through open-source toolscan't wait to hand over my fan-control to some third party pajeet software that silently disables my fans after the update>You don't need these exact Windows apps to get good GPU performance or control on Linuxbesides having subpar control compared to Windows you also get subpar performance, irrespective of distro or GPU manufacturer, only on rare cases you get comparable frames in some applications.>the built-in options work well without the bloat of proprietary Windows software.in order to mimic a fraction of power that a single windows application provides I need to install three or four different distro dependent programs and I'm not at all guaranteed they will be compatible with each other. How can you say that linux is less bloat?
>>108261049AMD drivers for Windows are terrible. It's a good thing we don't have adrenaline. Any worthy feature you can do on adrenaline can be replicated by other software.
>>108260071krita is better
>>108260071Have you tried PhotoDemon? Much lighter to run and still quite powerful.
>>108261188works on my machine>Any worthy feature you can do on adrenaline can be replicated by other softwareI doubt you could even adjust custom colours automatically per application, not to mention the actually useful features
>>108260071unironically who makes the logos for fossand are you all retards
>>108261049>NVidia control panel>Adrenaline>actively wanting slowass bloatware that barely does anythingwew ladreddit spacing lmao
>>108261243>barely does anythingapparently even that is too much for linux
>>108261049>can't switch because I'm dumbYep
>inb4 "use Nvdia Inspector"nope. it cant force DLSS models like this slop can. but holy shit its awful and actually makes games performance worse
>>108261049>ram-downloader.exe doesn't work on linux, shitty os
>>108261386I need to download 5 openjeet programs and spend a week configuring them to be able to partially utilise the hardware I paid for>an alternative 'OS'
>>108261049you are literally advocating for malware.
>>108260071>GIMPDo you know about the Krita?
>>108260071Paint.net is free and actually usable
>>108261526prove that any of them are malware
>>108261171>when it comes to 3D settings like anti-aliasing, sharpening or low latency presets it doesn't handle them at allnvidia-settings (the official Nvidia Linux tool) literally supports anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. Globally. per-app. Just like your beloved Windows. For Sharpening use vkBasalt, it adds Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) via launch options for Vulkan games. As well as Low latency/Reflex per game with Proton support.>can't wait to hand over my fan-control to some third party pajeet software that silently disables my fans after the updateUse LACT (open-source, active community on GitHub, supports AMD/Nvidia/Intel) reliable for custom curves/overclocking, installed via Flatpak/official repos. No "silent disable" issues reported, it's community-audited.>besides having subpar control compared to Windows you also get subpar performance, irrespective of distro or GPU manufacturer, only on rare cases you get comparable frames in some applications.2025-2026 benchmarks show AMD on Linux often beats Windows in raster/non-raytraced games (5-10% faster in some, with better stability). Nvidia lags behind with an average 10-30% worse performance, but plenty of titles hit 90-100% Windows FPS with Proton. AMD is near parity; just that Nvidia still favors Windows in terms of Ray tracing.>in order to mimic a fraction of power that a single windows application provides I need to install three or four different distro dependent programs and I'm not at all guaranteed they will be compatible with each other. How can you say that linux is less bloat?If that feels like "too much hassle" compared to Windows convenience, fair enough. But don't act like Linux is the bloated one here.
Pure skill issue
>>108261667>Pure skill. Issue?
>>108260514>Photoshop shits all over gimpThat's not true thoughever. Photoshop is bloated slop even when pirated.
>>108260071Krita
use case for GIMP when you can just make a sketch and ask AIslop to improve it?
>>108260071>Terrible softwareactually god tier software but with a bad UX/UI
>>108261049>Nvidia software>AMD SoftwareImagine using dated, adware client software that recently even installed a LLM. Just use LACT and use Nvidia driver or Mesa driver, problem solved.
>>108261049but nvidia as proprietary drivers and for linux and they workand the control panel is replaced with nvidia utils and nvidia settinfs i think
>>108260617You will never convince me that Adobe doesn't have paid plants in the system to make sure that GIMP makes the most retarded UX choices possible at all times.
Only retards who have never done any real work claim foss alternatives are good for anything. You would know this isn't true if you ever had a real deadline or paid job. This applies to every single industry standard software but especially so in graphics and design.
>>108264299They don't need plants, autistic gnutards will do it for them.
>>108263645What's so bad about Google Earth other than "it's Google"?
>>108260071we love you gimp, at least as long as I've used it, it was always better than photoshop>>108262355we love you dolphin (you will be free of krashes one day)
>>108264348shitty proprietary designhorrible uisome features are buggycan't set default view straight north so always opens tiltedlacks the ability to be customized all that muchloads slow when my places becomes largedifficult to keep my places organized if it becomes largecan save kmz too large for itself to openif my places becomes too large to backup as one file backups need to be made in small chunks (if user doesn't realize this until its too late they are fucked because earth won't open their back up kmz)lacks the ability to save to common universal mapping files for use in other software/devicesin general a cobbled together and unfinished pile of crap that is only used because it has no competition besides huge complex expensive proprietary professional software
>>108264335>I are a perfessional!Sure you are
>>108264663you might find this hard to believe, but some people have jobsyes even some people that post heresome of said jobs even involve using certain pieces of software
