2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Sorry, but no

    I used GIMP FIRST and almost all the shit people say about it being unintuitive were still true. I struggled with it and bitched to my Linux loving friend about it and he just laughed and said "yeah everyone says that"

    PS is equally confusing ngl.

    Part of the problem with GIMP, is the same problem with PS, there are about a thousand different buttons you can click, and at any given time, 3 to 4 different menus you can select from to get to any given option. There's just no good way to design a UI around that lmao.

    I was able to pick up PS more so than GIMP, but only because i had an instructor lmao. GIMP is just as bad, except for the fact that it doesn't have adobe creative cloud, and it's actually kind of usable as a result.

    Agreed. I never took courses on either piece of software. At the age of 12, I tried both PS 6.0 and GIMP (whatever version was the latest in the year 2000). I found Photoshop to be considerably easier to use, and that's what I've stuck with ever since. GIMP was at the time—and continues to be—completely and utterly unintuitive. It should have been completely rewritten from scratch over 20 years ago.

    That's what Krita is, it's intuitive and easy to use
