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.

Any chance this could install through the Linux Mint Software Manager, for auto updates?

i have it through software manager and it updates fine (well i have my settings to update flatpaks on login)

I'm glad this exists. I use standard gimp, but I am not a Pro used to Photoshop.

Vanilla GIMP has superior UX compared to Photoshop imo

[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

I agree. I transitioned to GIMP on my own hardware a couple of years ago but still have to use Photoshop once a week for work.

Panning and zooming - a massive part of graphics UX - is miles better in GIMP for example and makes PS look primitive by comparison.

Liked, bookmarked, installed. Can finally start using GIMP.
On Arch Linux pacman -S gimp will do, run and close, and then overwrite as instructed above. No need for Flatpak.

Excuse me for being out of the loop, but is there a path towards AI photo manipulation coming for gimp? (Or already here?). Basically doing things like generative fill and other AI editing capabilities?

(I use affinity photo for my photo editing at the moment, so it's been awhile since I've been paying attention to gimp.)
