HOW THE FUCK IS DEBIAN STILL SHIPPING GIMP 2
@midnaw oh my god did 3.0 not make it past the package freeze? thats literally horrific i hate that lmao

tbf if you use debian for desktop activities, you can also just install the flatpak in fact you're encouraged to
@coolbean to be honest i fucking hate GIMP 3 anyways but still
@midnaw honestly most of the differences i noticed i actually preferred i was quite a happy camper when 3.0 hit openbsd
@coolbean it's a buggy mess lmao the layer filters are inconsistently functional and changing the size of a layer doesn't scale the filter as well so it applies to like the top left corner of your image and nothing else
@midnaw ill be honest i just use it for doodling so i liked the brush improvements with dynamics and smoothing
@coolbean that's totally fair i just use it for like pixel art and image processing at this point and it's kind of shittttt at that now
@midnaw i do tend toward pixel art but yea nothing complex so im not feeling it

for a while i used grafx2 so really nothing fazes me anymore. im hoping to someday find a program thats not a nightmare to do pixel art in but last i tried krita for it i crashed it by using the circle tool on too small a diameter
@midnaw ive been on and off thinking about trying azpainter
@coolbean this reminds me of like newtek aura
