Hey guys! I just wanted to share a proof of concept real quick. No hate at all to GIMP or Pinta, but I just really love Paint.net as I’ve been using it for over a decade. And since I completely switched over to Arch a year ago, that means the only way I can enjoy using Paint.net again is if I add all the missing Direct 2D implementations. How hard could it be? 😅
As you can see, it’s not perfect… or even usable, but it loads without crashing! And that’s good enough for me to call it quits tonight.
There’s Pinta for the Paint.net users.
Any changes on some information or links to replicate this? Paint.net is currently a berry big reason duo boot into windows
that’s a really nice desktop you have there. I legit can’t tell it’s not Windows 7 lol
Thanks! Its KDE
It would be nice to have something as basic and fast as paint. I just want to fast load resize and text overlay in a couple clicks and call it done.
I use kolour paint on kde, there are a lot of other similar FOSS softwares around too.
Linux Mint has a program simply called “Drawing” that does exactly that. You can resize pictures, draw shapes, write text, paint and save as other formats. It’s a big buggy and unoptimized, but it’s cool. For simple things, it’s sometimes more convenient than GIMP.
If it works on Pop!, as most things seem to, it’s in.
Paint.net is genuinely the only software that I have missed since leaving Windows behind. Thanks for giving me some hope
