Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it’s way to Linux.

That and paint are the two things I miss moving from Windows

Paint is especially surprising to miss, but yeah. I tried a few different image editing programs on Linux but they were all either too limited in scope or were too complex to quickly learn.

Try Pinta! It’s pretty nice and minimal!

Yeah I’ve just been slowly learning GIMP but nothing comes close to paint

ps, top, and kill along with GIMP aren’t good enough?

I do like the pretty charts though so I can see how close my GPU is to melting.

GIMP is great but sometimes you don’t need a woodworking shop, you need a butter knife.

GIMP is way too complicated for what MS Paint gets used for, I’d easily argue it’s harder to use than Photoshop.

Paint Dot Net is a happy medium but that’s also Windows only IIRC

Yes, except that in Windows 11 they messed it up completely by making it laggy and adding the functionality to randomly crash itself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
