Ohhhh trueché. Thank you.

Lol – they should a tho!

Quoth Glengarry Glenn Ross: Always be closing.

Gotcha. Thank you.

I fully believe that, but the name is simple and straightforward, as well, which I expect is worth a lot.

Nothing says “gratuitous overstatements” quite like marketing copy.

Is this version gonna be in the Ubuntu repos?

I use GIMP nearly daily for drawing with my tablet. Overall, it’s adequate, though I agree with a few other comments that the name is terrible. “PhotoShop” is partially popular because it has a (somewhat) descriptive name. “Inkscape” is far better than GIMP.

If it were my call, I’d just go with something simple and descriptive, like “Linux Image Studio” or, like, “GNU Image Studio,” if GNU’s gotta go in there. IMHO, it’s best to not over-think it, tho someone clearly took that approach to get here.

The shameless integration of free code a la Bind.

Clearly I was not the first with that call to action.

But seriously, Windows is awful. I’ve had to use it lately, and it’s comically bad. Like the OS shows me ads! Wtf!? In Fahrenheit 451, it describes the billboards as longer so you can read them while driving fast on the highway, and I feel like the ads Windows shows are basically a similar type of dystopian. And like, now you can disable more with menus, but then the disable option is like buried somewhere hard to find.

New job time!

Do it. Let’s see who’s more powerful.

Pretty much. AWS offers (and runs on) Linux AFAIK.

How?? I do not see a link to a running instance… …is it right in front of my face? I’ll look again.

Can I see it in action?

I agree with you, but something jumped out at me while reading this thread. To a degree, the fear of “breaking something” is completely legitimate, but it’s based on not getting quick feedback from systems. For instance, if you are walking in a direction that you think is east, but the sun is setting ahead of you, you know you’re headed in the wrong direction. Computers often don’t provide such useful feedback, often leading users to “break things.”

5/5

In fairness, x11 is a bit of a dumpster fire and has been as long as I’ve used Linux (since 2003).

Me, I’m big on free, but I recently noticed something… What was it?.. Someone told an anecdote about something they valued, and it seemed clear that it was because they paid. And it got me to thinking money is effectively now what church was thru the 1990s. And, like, is that weird and probably dysfunctional? Yes. Does that make it less true? No.

Trueché.

Your bar is high! Does it boot to a GUI? That’s mine, and it sounds like it doesn’t – so no YT.
