  • Uh, I hate to be that guy, but if you can’t use Windows 11 due to hardware requirements, Microsoft put a “Try Ubuntu” button in the system settings page next to the message telling you that you are ineligible for a Windows upgrade. And if you go to their help forums, the Microsoft support reps will recommend Ubuntu LTS to you. So it’s not like the GIMP forums at all.


  • Yeah, if you do any sort of work with art or photography, and you use Linux, you run into them at some point. To be fair, it’s not GIMPs fault that they rally around that software, it’s just a subset of Linux users who like to stick their noses in the air that consider GIMP the only valid choice since it’s FOSS. You also see it sometimes when a Linux newbie asks for opinions on a good starter distro to get their feet wet.

    Fortunately, with the increased popularity of Linux with desktop users, and of course the golden age of Linux gaming being upon us, those sort of people are becoming a tiny minority. I have faith there will be a point when they’re so few that they get ostracized from communities unless they stop being fucknozzles.
