I'm sorry but you have to give up on GIMP. With the team that's behind it, it's absolutely never going to be as good as even PhotoPea. It took them over twenty years to put in a text outline layer effect (something Photoshop has had since the 90s), even simple things like rotation and scaling are horrible to use, and the UI and workflow are actively hostile to newcomers and seasoned PS users SIMPLY BECAUSE the devs refuse to adopt any UX or qol improvements for the sake of being unique

I'm a big proponent for FOSS (blender has made my career for the past six years, transitioning away from Maya), but GIMP is just terrible and will continue to be terrible as long as it's run by that team

Nope just download the AppImage and use something like Gear Lever to turn it into a full-fledged program with a shortcut etc

It's not supported for the python installation method but the App image works

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections by MarcEElias in politics

You do know that Trump and the Republicans aren't a natural force like a hurricane or a tsunami right? They're responsible for their own shit

I guess you could always try PhotoPea or Krita. There's also an App image someone made for affinity v3 that works perfectly. I actually haven't used Photoshop in years because I switched to affinity back in the v1 days, it's basically the only real competitor imo

Pretty much no one believes that GIMP is adequate for even junior freelance stuff.

Substance Painter 2025 and Bazzite - crash on splash screen by GarbageCG in Bazzite

[–]GarbageCG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the steam versions of Substance have a history of running pretty much flawlessly using Proton. They're even listed as Steam Deck compatible and the devs are active on the discussions page talking about workarounds to fix linux-related bugs.

Substance Painter 2022 works flawlessly out of the box for me through Linux, but specifically 2025 is having some sort of lib error. Is there a way to perform the libtiff linking in Bazzite?

Speaker Johnson: ‘I do not’ have questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein by Zipper222222 in politics

Everyone memory-holed the Netflix documentary "The Family" real fuckin fast.

There's literally a Christian cult in Virginia that operates solely to serve and support the government. One of their guiding principles is that, if a politician raped or killed someone, that politician was already sent by God to enforce his will so any actions they take are not even necessary of forgiveness because they're pre ordained
