    My entire point was how it stacked against a piece of software you haven’t touched in decades. You have no clue what you’re talking about.

        I have “the Gimp” running on an old MBpro I keep around for travel and my old Lenovo running Linux. Try again.

          Weird, I usually keep mine in a cage in the basement.

          So you use it constantly because it’s so terrible?

            What?

            It’s the only stable image editing tool of note on Linux. The problem is it’s still really far behind. It is not a modern piece of photo editing software.

                Yes it runs Linux mint. Have to hardline for internet and no touch bar but minor nuisance and one thing I never really used anyway. Thanks for the well wishes, I guess.

                There is no alternative. That is why I use it. That has been the entire thrust of this conversation. Gimp is the only option and it is not adequate as it is so far behind. This is not complicated dude. You know what I’m saying you are just angry about it.

                    Is this a serious question?

                    Your home may not be adequate but you can live in it. Your bike may not be adequate but it can still be ridden. I never said it was nonfunctional or something. In fact I multiple times said it’s a complete and stable piece of software. So stop deliberately misinterpreting me.

                    Let me put in another way: gimp is a PS3, Photoshop is a PS5. Both play games. Are they both adequate? No, not if you want to play anything made in the last 10 years

                    The PS3 is a functional, stable console. Would you tell someone to buy it as their main console in 2025 if they want to get back into gaming? I imagine the vast majority of the time the answer is no.
