Also a KDE app like Okular. I mostly use Geany, but otherwise Kate. |

Must admit one of the things i missed the most when jumping to linux was paint. |

I miss Paint Shop Pro. It's always GIMP you get with Linux, which is about 10x more complicated than I need. |

Paint Shop is still with us; current version from Corel is "Paint Shop Pro 2023 Ultimate" https://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/paintshop-pro/ultimate/?sourceid=psp2022-xx-ppc_brkws&x-vehicle=ppc_brkws&trial=big&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=psp-dd-all-adwordsppc&utm_content=132063878599&utm_term=paint%20shop%20pro%20ultimate&utm_id=1696212657&gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI69Tsjar7gAMVeiezAB3xdwHVEAAYASABEgJSbPD_BwE |

MS paint has so little features it's almost useless to use it, other than drawing basic stuff. Less versatile than paper I like paint.net but it doesnt have much of a feature set either, GIMP has a lot more useful features but the UI is bad... I think it's open source tho so you could just fix the UI problems. Paint.net has ad-ons which help a bunch, but they aren't that good. for example I have 2 vignette addons, one of then you can change the color of the vignette, but not the "depth" of the vignette, while the other one you only have a black vignette. Because of this I usually Ctrl+X the image, add a layer, put a black vignette on it, then adjust the image color shift until I get the color I want, then paste the image back on the bottom layer. ;D I can't complain since the time wasted is worth less than the laughs I get about how silly it is. What bugs me the most tho is that 100% hardness isn't 100%... it's just dumb, the only way to have a 100% hard line is to use the pencil tool which is fixed at 1 pixel size. While in Gimp the pen options work as you'd expect. |
