Oop my bad lol

Man there’s a lot of really stupid shit in here.

Yes having a simple to use shape tool is nice. And it’s on the roadmap so no, it doesn’t go against some weird vaguely defined “core value” of gimp.

I wouldn’t have switched personally if Linux ui was still shit. I put the effort into learning because the initial experience was good enough to warrent delving deeper into it.

Like others have said, it’s on the roadmap. They just need (or want) to add vector layers first. So progress is being made.

Yeah probably the biggest strength of gnome. Often feels better suited for tablets than windows is.

Kdenlive has a visualizer effect you can use https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_filters/video_effects/on_master/audio_spectrum_filter.html

It’s not crazy but it works well enough for something simple.

You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I’ve been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.

No flatpak? Who uses flatpak in the terminal?

Also pretty much every distro has some sort of GUI update manager.

I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

I had issues with debian-based distros as well, that’s why I switched to fedora. I also think the go 3 has better support in general. The cameras are still annoying but things have gotten better, with Firefox getting libcamera support.

I agree but also I saw the words “vote” and “nix” and nearly had an aneurism.

I personally got a surface go 3. Put fedora on it and the surface kernel and it works pretty good - GNOME’s interface honestly works better for touchscreens then windows. Just be aware that some config might be needed - I had an issue with the keyboard that required making a udev rule (I documented it on the surface kernel github issues page).

they aren’t publicly traded so that’s probably part of the reason.

This isn’t even an issue though, its just to fix bugs with certain websites that block Firefox for no reason or have other weird compatibility issues. Which I would think is a good thing?

There are so many legitimate things to complain about with Mozilla, why do people go out of their way to complain about the most innocuous shit.

There’s experimental support, they’re hoping it’ll be feature complete by 2026.

I’ve seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.

The first domino is probable gaben working at microsoft honestly

Steam hasn’t (afaik) revoked access from a game that someone already owns, and DRM on steam is entirely optional, even if you use the steamworks sdk. (source: I am a developer making a game using the steamworks sdk that can run without steam open or installed)

The Mint upgrade tool got flatpak support so I don’t even use the terminal to update anymore.
