  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Gimp sucks. That's why people on Linux rather use krita to edit photos and it wasn't even built to do that.

    Gimp is a horrible mistake that should literally be killed off and it should be put into a failure museum to serve as a warning and a reminder how Foss can take a wrong turn and many free development hours are spent towards building the wrong things and continue to disappoint any user that tries it.

    I literally use GIMP every day at my job. It's a very powerful application that makes my life easier.

    My condolences.

    I'm so sorry that you feel the $0.00 you've spent on GIMP's development were not well spent

    Just because something’s free doesn’t make it immune to criticism.

    [–] Denvil@lemmy.one 0 points 4 months ago

    Is it really criticism if you just say "is bad I hate it"

    [–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

    Absolute you problem. GIMP is some of the best and most powerful FOSS ever made, and better than most proprietary applications. But this is probably just bait anyway.

    Gimp needs fixing. It's definitely not beyond it. But sure go simp for Microsoft some more (yes I remember you from other threads)

    You don't get it.

    If you're not spending hours trying to figure out how to do the most basic shit then it's not for you, pal. Ever heard the expression pressure turns coal into diamonds?

    That's right.

    That's because we're not bitch ass pussies. Last night I spent five hours trying to merge some layers, and you know what? Worth it! I read the docu, had a back and forth with the developers and after they threatened to kill my family I got it. I'm now a proud member of the Gimp Club Tm (choker and gag ball not included).

    Ya gotta give to get some, Shirley. Now move over, I need to block out the rest of the day so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

    I like GIMP :)

    I've used GIMP to create all of my memes. It's just fine, even if the UI can be unintuitive.

    It lacks features compared to Photoshop, which is a reference to the fact that 2 developers maintain the core features of it.
