needs more jpeg
I’m one of those 95%, and I can tell you that the problem isn’t its lack of features as much as its overly complicated UI. Last time I gave it a try, basic tasks that take me a few clicks to do in Photoshop becomes weirdly difficult in GIMP.
You want to draw a circle? Use the ellipse select tool and 7 more steps I don’t remember. You want to adjust your stroked text a little bit? You need to do the path thing from the start again.
People also love to defend it saying that I’m just “too used to Photoshop” but no, when I started using Photoshop, it wasn’t anywhere as complicated as GIMP. It’s a good thing we have Krita and Photopea (although the latter is not FOSS, only free as in free beer).
If you like using GIMP, then good for you. For me though, it just isn’t a viable alternative if I want to get things done, even if all the features are there. :)

oh god no
Truly the year of enshittification.
It’s solar eclipse!
Not Lemmy specific but check out Redirector. It probably works with redirecting between communities but I’m not sure if it can redirect between posts since the IDs of the same posts are different between servers.
I’d suggest Debian with LXDE, which, from my personal experience, works pretty fine on low-end computers. You can replace LXDE with your choice of Windows Managers for an even lighter system, but that might be a little hard if you’ve never used Linux before.
Mine’s Redirector. I use it to force redirection of some URLs, for example:
- Redirecting an amp URL to a non-amp
- Redirecting the URL of a small-scaled image to the URL of the original size
- Redirecting a mobile site to its desktop equvalent (e.g. Wikipedia)
- When I was using Reddit, I also used this extension to force all links to go to old.reddit.com
