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 day now, i swear

I can’t wait till graphite.rs adds raw image support. Adjustment layers were something needed a decade ago. Gimp can do what it wants but I moved on to DarkTable a long time ago for actual image editing. I’m not convinced the project will be able to keep up with other apps with its current organization and dismissive attitude toward design.

Wonder if 3.0 will finally fix alpha levels.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's still doing better than Krita - which I had to bail on because its levels tool doesn't support setting the white point.

God idk what version I'm even using. I never update programs like this unless I have to. From breaking things, to confusing my workflow and moving things around; I've always been more frustrated than thankful. I haven't updated Reaper in ages too and I'm certain they're better about keeping continuity than anyone.

Edit: lol people are mad about my own software updating habits? why and how are .worlders this way? I can't imagine the realities they live in, and am glad so

If you scream into the void, sometimes, the void screams back. How is that surprising?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Idk. I agree that it's a bad practice, but I also don't understand the downvotes. I think in this context it's valid to share your preference whether to update or not. Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

You posted something that's bad practice (for many reasons, including security). Like, nobody cared about your software habits until you posted them publically with no prompting. probably so you could act smug after getting downvoted.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

On the other hand, why did you feel the need to share this? Generally you are decreasing your security by this practice, and it's not a good idea for others to adopt it. And no, you don't need to understand security models and specific exploits for them to harm you

Getting very close?

At this point they should just have that announcement when they actually have the thing.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Which would you think will come out first?

GIMP 3.0 or GTA 6?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gnome 47 is out already though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lol their joke failed. People love shitting on gnome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please, RC1 gets released before december lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Fedora 41 is shipping the 2.99 version. And naturally will update to RC1 and later once they release.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If it can get non-destructive editing by when 3.2 comes out say… 2030, I’ll be happy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Naïve me it college hearing non-destructive editing was right around the corner. The corner was well over a decade. 😅

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

There’s non-destructive editing in 2.99. Not everything is non-destructive though, such as rotating and scaling. But most colors and filters are.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

believe it when I see it

So the world is ending?
