Going back to a debate we've had about GIMP a few couple pages ago,


TL;DW not really. It's still a pain in the ass to use. And, I had no idea PhotoGIMP is a thing.

The absolute state of GIMP.

If Photopea ever decides to come up with an offline client, it'll be the end of GIMP as we know it.

Anyways, just for comparison's sake, here's our Linux Queen being a GIMP power user.


Gotta hand it to her, she truly knows her way around GIMP. I've never seen anyone being so comfortable around it before.

There are a lot of people that have been using GIMP long term. A surprising amount of them used it on windows (or idk maybe some still use it on windows) before moving over to linux. I imagine people that always just used GIMP instead of Photoshop have no problem with it. I'm not saying GIMP is perfect, or really commenting on the quality of it at all. I'm just saying it probably depends on the person, on whether they think it's fine, or hate it.

Anyway. I never really use kde stuff. But I wonder why kriita always gets left out of the linux photo editor conversations. It seems like it's pretty well liked.

I just use gimp because it's fine enough for the simple editing I do from time to time.

The memory clock speed of my GPU gets stuck on its lowest speed. This bug has been around for 7 months and randomly comes and goes it seems. No form of trying to fix it works outside removing every memory clock state other than the highest. You would think this would be a high priority fix, but I guess not

amdgpu has been a complete shitshow the past couple years. I've never had more idiotic issues with a GPU than I have with my current RDNA3 card, and that's after more than one optimus laptop in the past. They've completely given up fixing some issues, most of which related to power management and SMU.

It's moreso for painting rather then editing. A Clip Studio Paint alternative, not Photoshop. At least that's what Krita itself markets itself as and focuses on, and so I never bothered to look into it.

Real niggas stopped using Gimp years ago in favor of Krita.

Also Krita is not "just for painting". It has all of the filters and editing features from Gimp + more.
 
I'm getting annoyed at how often my Arch packages want to update. I like having the latest stuff, but did we really need 3 brave updates in one week? I understand the appeal to Ubuntu now.

you know you aren't required to update every day right?

just do it once a week or something if you prefer, or every 2 weeks. or twice a day. it's up to you.

Twice a decade should be enough for anyone.

Admittedly that one just sits in the attic with an RTL-SDR stick and takes the temp sensor data and shoves it on an MQTT stream. Not like updating will make it work any better.

Have you tried xlibre? I've got two AMD workstation cards, a current gen Radeon Pro R9700 and an older Pro W6800. I had constant lock ups and freezing issues on one of them that was still running xorg. Migrated to xlibre and I've had over 3 weeks of uptime, doing all my work while still running a dozen+ image generations per day via Comfy-ui+rocm.

Xlibre is pretty damn awesome in that they've fixed so many longstanding bugs and stability issues.
 
After replacing my fossilised motherboard with a newer one I had to switch to mint from fedora because i couldn’t figure out the driver signing business.

Cinnamon is so nice i kinda love it.

Properly installed brave uses it's own repository so you'd have just as many updates on Ubuntu, unless you use the distro packages which might be dangerously out of date.

These numbers are expected to go FURTHER AND FURTHER for windows and HIGHER AND HIGHER for Linux.
