GIMP has been in development for decades, yet it's still unintuitive and you can't even draw a circle in it, meanwhile some retard, a single fucking guy, wrote a PS alternative running in a fucking browser (it even performs better)Then the closest thing to a video editor is KDEnlive, which is slow as shit and a pain to work with, any other FOSS video editor is worse than Windows Movie Maker, meanwhile a small team created DaVinci Resolve which actually works (not on linux tho)And the most retarded of all, office apps. There's a gazzilion of them, open office, libre office, only office, gilf office, and every single one of them don't have something as simple as flash fill or even being able to drag down the date to autocomplete the series. Fuck libre office especially, I could write a fucking python app with tkinter that runs better or even an electron app, this shi is laughable
>>108604310>wahhh wahhh my free software isn't on the level of bleeding edge corpo software made by extremely well paid teams of elite developers with access to all of the tech worlds best resources and support!!Fill your diaper about it faggot
>>108604352My diaper was already full, thanks for asking
>>108604310>Why can't FOSS-tards write usable software?it was doomed from the very beginning, there's too many europeans in the community, kde and libreoffice are made by germans...
>>108604534So that's why they suck so much ass
Complaints about GIMP in 2026 when better alternatives exist are just aimless whining at this point. Linux is not the reason you have to pay for Photoshop.
>>108604310Firefox is FOSS, but it doesn't give off GIMP vibe. So normal FOSS can be done, people are just incompetent.(Also most of FOSS jankiness stems from GTK, but that's another topic)
>>108604534KDE is good
>>108604310So we're just going to pretend that ffmpeg, that's the backbone to pretty much everything media related, isn't usable?
>>108604797*was until 6
>Gimp Use krita >KDEnlive Did you try openshot? If you just Google there are tons of open source video editors. >Office apps Open office works fine. >But muh libre excelYour throwing an entire suite of software out because one piece of software doesn't have parity with the corp version. If it bugs you that much just open an issue or add it to the program yourself. Remember you are getting this for free.
>>108604829let me guess ,its about Wayland?
>>108604912>Open office works fine.
>>108604797it's tolerablethere's not much to a DE anyway, it's a start menu with search, task bar, tray, window decorations, notification system and a file manager, hard to fuck that up
>>108604915that problem was fixed by Sonic DEwhat wasn't fixed is the creepy convergence towards gnome, taking away even more features and pushing their libadwaita equivalent (kirigami) onto developersoh, and selling out to (((valve))). fuck nate graham for ruining a DE that used to be great
>>108604936>hard to fuck that upMicrosoft and GNOME have done nothing but try to find new ways to fuck it up since 2012.
>>108604310There's literally nothing wrong with LibreOffice, M$ literally doesn't respect their own file format standards and programs their own Office suite to ensure files turn out looking glitched and retarded on FOSS office programs.
>>108604967and it was really hard for them to do, the amount of work that they put into fucking it up is truly staggering, billions of man-hours were spent on avoiding every good idea to find the best way to make their systems worse
>>108604912You would like to throw an entire OS away giving you compatibility with the best software available, because you're motivated by some ideological crusade which isn't even shared by you or the corporations backing linux.I've noticed most useful FOSS software is most often cross-platform. Tools like ffmpeg, handbreak, vlc, mpv come to mind. What's the point of suffering a hobbyOS desktop when everything runs with Windows? If I need linux specifically, I'll use WSL2.
>>108604971There are features in excel which have no equivalent in LibreOffice Calc, and cannot be stored in the OpenDocument formats. Should Microsoft hold themselves back because they cannot keep up?
>>108604912>Use kritaDude Krita is not a general purpose image editor, it's just for paint. It can't even do live text editing.>Did you try openshot? If you just Google there are tons of open source video editors.Blender VSE has become more powerful now, you can use nodes directly on the clips now, but to use it you need to know how to use Blender.
>>108605133>shared by you or the corporations backing linux*you -> Linus
>>108604936>there's not much to a DE anyway, it's a start menu with search, task bar, tray, window decorations, notification system and a file manager, hard to fuck that upYou're missing quite a lot, including a compositor. A modern DE is a huge project.
>>108605133ok still not using windows
>>108605133I literally don't need any of those """best software""" so why would I bother with winblows?
GIMP's engine GEGL is one of the best easily available image processing libraries in the world, its just that 99.99% of its users don't tape into its potential
>>108607058Look at that ui bro
>>108604352>my free software isn't on the level of bleeding edge corpo softwareI'm not asking Gimp to have all the functionality of the latest Photoshop. But I'd like it to be as USABLE as Photoshop was back in the 1990s.
>>108607086Photoshop's UI is patented. You literally cannot make a usable raster editor in Ameritard land without getting sued.
>>108607094>photopea
>>108604310usable =/= exactly the same as the program i use
>>108607094>suedWe need more anonymous projects. Have fun trying to sue an avatar with a public key.
>i could....>doesn'tFOSS chads keep winning.
>>108607098...is not a replacement for either.
>>108607094Utility patents last 20 years, design patents last 15 years. At this point there's nothing stopping you from making a clone of Photoshop 7.
>GIMP SUXusecase but unironically? i only need image manipulation for the purposes of shitposting, so i genuinely have no clue what's a legit grievance and what's muh circle tool
>>108604310
>>108607058tbf GIMP itself hasn't tapped into it's potential.
>>108607071>Moving the goalposts
>>108607137What did you do to make those proprietary shitware go so far up your own ass not even King Arthur can pull them out?
>>108604310>Those who can, do>Those who can’t, write FOSS
>libre office update on my gentoo setupnoo...no.
