    Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?

      Haven’t seen these two paint alternatives mentioned yet:

      1. Krita
      2. Inkscape

        I think Inkscape is brought up less often because of its focus on vector graphics, which can be confusing to people new to it.

        I’m using pinta. When I type “paint” in my xfce search bar, it already brings it up automatically.

      GIMP isn’t that hard to use for basics.

          I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn’t know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

            I personally think that’s the point. It just mocks the Linux Fanboys.

        Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

          I’ve been using it off and on for over twenty years and it’s never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time…

            Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.

          Works fine every time I’ve used it in Windows, but I do mostly live in Linux now, so your mileage may vary.
