I have the same question. I prefer other languages. I use G’MIC for image processing over Python and C++.

I moved on to Waterfox, is this a good move?

There’s also the alternatives of making your own library. I’m happy to use minimal amount of 3rd parties and just make my own instead.

Oh no! Anyways, what are y’all cooking?

No, they don’t.

I use it as second last resort, and in those times, it did worked out. I had to test, verify, and make changes. Even so, I avoid using them.

Welcome back!

My try with GIMP is that I find that the interface is clunky, and the absence of non-destructive editing, and it’s nowhere near the level of Krita/PS at a mechanical level. I tried the version with NDE in GIMP, but I just hate the flow and I find the absence of ease of access to filter as well as lack of inherent mask a issue. So, I’ll stick with Krita instead, and it works out for my needs, but I’m not fully satisfied unless I have better selection tools in there.

Try doing professional level photo editing on Linux

I can be on a tirade about this. If only Krita decided to expand their focus instead of being conservative about their goals, or if GIMP actually had competent people years ago. But, now I’m at a point where I just don’t give a damn about FOSS editing, and fine with let it all burn.

Solidworks/Rhino probably can work under VM, but I don’t know.

My issue is more Rhino and Solidworks. If Blender actually can render NURBS and retesselate from NURBS to polygon, I can pretty much ditch Autodesk Maya as that’s the only reason I use Autodesk Maya.

What about people who needs NURBS tools and Affinity/Adobe class art softwares? Where do they go that corporations decided Windows and Mac are only to be supported? And believe me, plenty of them hates Windoze and I’m one of them.

This. I hope no one supports Hamas here, but certainly almost no one supports either Hamas or IDF.

Probably standards have changed within generations. Now, we’re at a point where younger people feel free to criticize their own military. There are people who hates US military back when Iraq War was a thing that has a beef with IDF. It’s more sympathy toward people that did not sign up for combat, and acknowledging that engagement should ever be between combatants. Older people simply don’t understand that yet.

This just made my day.

At least we might have a finally viable replacement in Photoshop soon. GIMP is getting NDE, Krita might be getting foreground extraction tool at some point, and Pixellator might have better tools though it’s NDE department is solid. The thing is all of them are missing something, but I’m betting on GIMP after CMYK_Student arrival to GIMP development.

I tried adding foreground selection based on guided selection, but was unable to fix noises on in-between selection and was unable to build Krita. We would have Krita with foreground selection if it weren’t for that.

There’s KDE Kate as well, but I only use that for scripting purpose.

This. Green energy works best when complimented with nuclear energy. Then, we can ween away from big oil.

I’m a Windows user (not out of choice), there’s no case for recommending Windows if it weren’t for the softwares requirement.

I would switch to Linux anyway. Does any one knows if SOLIDWORKS and Rhino can work in Linux? I know Maya can, and I only use that as a pipeline to convert NURBS to polygon whenever it is needed.

Krita should get better selection tool for foreground extraction, and it would be very easy to forget Affinity/PS as filters are easier to make with C++ there. No plans to use GIMP, so don’t bring it up.
