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.

    I just ran MS Paint (XP version) using wine. You just need to install mfc42 library and it runs great.
