Man, I would be happy if my parents used any computer.

I mean my business has no problem using it here in the motherland of the English language…?

Any time we talk to a client about it they are just happy to hear that we’re using software that doesn’t ingest their work into AI, crash in the middle of consultations, and produces working files that will be usable forever.

When did it suck?

I’ve been using it professionally for the last 3 years or so and it’s no worse for UX than Photoshop, the ‘industry standard’.

Both GIMP and photoshop are very sophisticated and technical software (although Photoshop is becoming less so I should add).

People who want a leaner set of tools should have a look at something like Tux Paint.

Using / is awesome. Even if you know where things are in the menu it’s usually quicker to just type the first few letters and smash enter. I use it all the time.

GIMP is shaping up to be (and actually already is IMO) the best editor out there for nondestructive work.

Why should they change the name just for the vanity of Americans who have a dual meaning for the word, and make it difficult for the whole rest of the world to find tutorials and documentation going back decades?

I like seeing you use the thorns - please don’t stop!

I’ve come full circle with this and concluded that the best source is local people. I’ve spent so much time messing around, hungry, on the internet. Now I try to just ask a random person or two for a recommendation.

Luanti is awesome! Will check out the server 👍

Thanks 👍

That sounds perfect - what model is it?

I use Debian GNOME and Wayland is the default now, with GNOME on Xorg as an optional session in the login manager.

Not sure if I’ve had exactly this but I usually open the lid to turn my laptop display back on, pull out the USB-c dock and then open and close the overview with the super key.

I usually have ‘mirrored’ selected as the multi-display option in my settings FWIW.

I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.

Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?

Check out Starlabs - their laptops have Intel processors but use Coreboot as the BIOS with the intel management engine disabled. They’re good with spares and are designed to run Linux. I have one and it runs Debian 13 flawlessly.

Really we should all just be using GNOME Web on a fresh Debian install. It makes me feel relaxed just thinking about it.

I even have a Latitude running with the Linux-libre kernel 👍

Crazy - it hasn’t happened again since my original post, until literally just now. I come on Lemmy to look for the thread and remind myself how to fix it, and here is your comment!

I’ll have a look, thanks :) How is it less secure?
