Comment on Petition: Bring the Affinity Suite to Linux - #AffinityOnLinux
dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 2 days agoI tried again and again to do the things I need to do with gimp but it still lacks many features zthe ones it does have are hard to use. Sometimes it’s not about ideology but about needing to get shit done.

Tried Gimp 3.0?

Just for maybe an hour or so, haven’t had time for more. It seems a bit better but still too different from everything else to assume people can „just“ use it instead of the solution they are familiar with.
Gimp really needs the kind of in-depth UI/UX redesign that blender got with 2.8.

Don’t try to do client work bound to a deadline on gimp. Because the stress will make you close gimp at the simplest inconvenience. That’s what happened to me. But trying to work with it on my free time. And installing the photogimp addon helped alot. Gimp still has a long way to go.

So what do I do when I need to get something done on a deadline? VM? Dualboot? Just give up?
Please don’t interpret that as an attack, it’s a serious question. I would love to fully move to linux. I’ve put Arch on my laptop about a month ago as an experiment and overall it works great. But every time I need to be productive, I hit a wall. Especially with photo editing but even for software development (mostly C# and C++), Windows 10 + WSL feels like the better choice.

I had only read that there were changes under the hood and also in the UI/UX. I hadn’t tested it yet and thought I’d just ask. It could have been that you had also only used the older versions and now there might have been changes.
