Holy shit, it’s happening, guys. Paint.net is getting official wine support. You know the windows situation is getting bad when even the developer of an app exclusively aimed at Windows is now shifting support to wine…
They’re contributing to the wine project and everything 🥲 https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60276
I came on here a few months ago ranting about direct 2D stub functions. Two days ago the dev stopped calling those exact direct 2D functions https://github.com/paintdotnet/Paint.NET-on-Wine/releases/tag/v5.200.9785.36400
What a time to be alive. Truly a great time to be a Paint.net enjoyer.



And people wonder why so many devs use Electron. It may be slow and a RAM hog but hey it works.
Well, if you want cross-platform anything, not using a Microsoft framework is the first step to success…
