Look, I love The G.I.M.P. It allows me to recreate both 3D Studio Max, and Fractal Design: Painter into a single program. I have begged every single graphic artist and photographer in my life to switch. They all say it's far too hard to set up and use. I wish I could help them fix this, but apparently modding anything other than a game is too complex for them. How the fuck do I manage to explain this to them‽

It's because they already have a good workflow for productivity. There is no point of switching to another program just for the sake of change. My workflow is just happened to be on Windows and Adobe and that's it! I don't care shit about these brands.

I'm tired of everyone on Lemmy keeps bashing Windows and trying to force people in to Linux. Stop trying to make people doing something unrelated to their real life. In normal people eyes, computer is no different than a toaster. Who care about all the feature and technology? If it can make good toast then that's good enough for them.

In my eyes, Linux community is no different than a cult and church, who is trying to force everyone into joining them. And I'm getting tired of Lemmy also. It's like 50 percent of the posts are all about Linux and bashing Windows. I was supporting the movement, but now I think it's meaningless with this type of community. Impossible for normal user to join in. Sorry about my rant. Have a nice day, eveyone.

I use windows. I just use The GIMP because NO One else makes a graphics program that acts like FDP. Fractal Design Painter acts like traditional medium, so it's easier for traditional artists to wrap our heads around. I only suggest it to traditional artists that hate the interface of Adobe products
