Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it's way to Linux.

That and paint are the two things I miss moving from Windows

Paint is especially surprising to miss, but yeah. I tried a few different image editing programs on Linux but they were all either too limited in scope or were too complex to quickly learn.

Try Pinta! It's pretty nice and minimal!

I've just been using libre office draw but if anyone has a better alternative I'd love to hear it.

What about KolourPaint?

Yeah I've just been slowly learning GIMP but nothing comes close to paint

No but it looks like more of a digital painting tool than basic image editing which is all I used paint for anyway

[–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

It's far more than basic image editing, but it's also far more akin to Photoshop than GIMP is imo.
