Ousted the front door, coming back by the backdoor:
- “Maybe you’re using it wrong”
- “It has greatly improved since Gimp 2.0”,
- “It’s just doing things differently”
- “It has 90% of the features of MS Office”
seem to be the top arguments for trying Linux over Mac, again for the 20th time in 20 years, each time awfully bad. As Steve Jobs once said about Microsoft: “The problem is these people have no taste.” It’s correct that when you have no need for something to be beautiful or no need to be productive between two recompilations of the kernel, then Linux is the OS of choice.
My backups work though. As a Linux user, it's exhausting watching people complain about macOS and Windows every single day on this site, because there's nothing you can do about. You're a captive prisoner on their platform.
For some of us, dealing with GIMP's warts is more tolerable than the alternatives.
