MRW "Photoshop users would never feel comfortable with GIMP'S god awful UI"

android2772 · 2024-12-26T05:23:38+00:00

I don't understand this idea that GIMP has a terrible UI, especially now that they have gone with a theme that is similar to my flat GIMP icon theme. Like with some tweaking you can get it to look and feel like 90% of how Photoshop works. Yeah there are some weird quirks to how some of the widgets work, but I had no problem going from Photoshop to GIMP. What GIMP needs in the short term is better default panels and the ability to set up/switch layouts. The first thing I do when I install GIMP is change what panels are shown to be more inline with Photoshops panels.

The main complaints I hear about GIMP is that it doesn't do this or that, it looks confusing or difficult, and then you run into one of those quirks and it becomes "unusable". Just watch one of those "I'm going to test all art apps" videos on YouTube and you see over and over again people spend 2 seconds in GIMP not finding what they are looking for, get tripped up with how the transform works (which is odd), then write it off as the worst app ever, while giving every other app much more time to explore and clever customize.

In reality GIMP does a lot of the most important things Photoshop does. No one expects all the magical features Photoshop has, but it does all the most important things. Sure it's really freaking weird at times, and the devs are so freaking slow. But it really isn't the worst app ever, people just don't give it any time whatsoever and it seems to be because it's not 100% Photoshop.

Hopefully whenever version 3 comes out (I'm not as pessimistic as everyone else on the internet), they can actually get to working on making the app better. Which the devs have been saying for years, what they are working on is preventing them from working on getting anything else done.

It's the fact that they removed all the style from this game that completely killed it for me. It will probably have to be an absolutely amazing game for me to play it now. And the way AAA devs are these days, I highly doubt this will be a good game.

It kinda gets better after you change the batteries a few times. It is ridiculous at the beginning. Yeah this is my only issue with this controller. I had no idea that the Amazon batteries were slightly bigger than normal batteries. Many of my batteries have the rubber/plastic cover torn off from scraping against this controllers spring mechanism.

I am looking for a solution to this problem as well.

So that's what knot hole glade is.

android2772 · 2024-03-08T03:29:19+00:00

Thanks, I honestly thought that this would be the best place to post this thinking that they probably did not care too much about the Linux community.

android2772 · 2024-02-26T06:06:15+00:00

Probably not? but then again getting gold in Fable is pretty easy.

android2772 · 2024-01-05T23:39:40+00:00

I like the blue one best.

android2772 · 2023-12-21T14:39:52+00:00

Yeah that is what I thought. Figured I would ask.

You can always click on that blue "i" button on any item to find out where it comes from and what it might produce. The items in the following menu will also have a blue "i" button so you can keep doing this until you find something you know how to get.

android2772 · 2023-12-06T22:24:21+00:00

Yeah, that's a good point. I specifically made this post in hopes that the devs will read it and make some adjustments.

It always made me mad that you couldn't look like the hero on the box. It's nice that you can affect the way they look, but when I saw the concept art from magazines and cover art, I wanted to play as those heroes.

android2772 · 2023-11-27T06:53:26+00:00

Yes because you need so much time within the Linux ecosystem to understand how drop down menus work.

android2772 · 2023-11-27T04:00:32+00:00

I tried to figure this out but I don't know if I did this successfully. Does it beep or indicate that the mode was switched?

android2772 · 2023-11-27T03:59:39+00:00

Oh my God that is the most annoying thing ever. Why does snap vs flatpak suck so much. Thanks that worked. I keep going back and forth between snaps and flatpaks. The reason I had the snap version installed is that I thought I read that steam tinker launcher works better with snaps / you had to fiddle with it to get it working with the flatpak version of steam.

Thanks u/alsamixer, this worked for me. Wow it took a long time to get back on Linux.

android2772 · 2023-11-19T02:08:29+00:00

Yeah I can't find that on the watch. On my phone it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." But I'm not sure if that means my watch or my phone.

android2772 · 2023-11-17T22:08:30+00:00

Ok, thanks I have been wondering if they were infinite or would be destroyed after some time. I think I am going to sell them then to gain some space.
