I mean: I'll probably get downvoted because we are on Lemmy and the title contains "vibecoding" in it, but holy s**t, are we just getting a viable Photoshop alternative for linux 🤣

    in the category "viable photoshop alternative", yes

    I like the tool, but anyone claiming that it's a true alternative, hasn't touched photoshop since 1996

    I'd say anyone claiming it isn't a viable alternative hasn't touched The Gimp since 1996

    So why bother if it's not viable?

    Never said it's not viable

    It's just not an alternative for Photoshop

    For super simple stuff is fine, if a little bit cumbersome

    Don't need to apply it. It has got stackable filters now. Individually editable and hideable. Works fine with text. So just confirms my theory that all the haters haven't touched it recently. Just like with Linux (they generally don't distinguish between distributions ofc), when people claim you need the console for everything while you mostly don't need it at all.

    I use it every few days and tried to do what I just described before posting about it, and was unable to do so. I don't consider that "not having touched it recently."

    And even if it does do that now on some newer version my distro doesn't have, my thoughts are still the same as others in this thread like the bad UX and many other features photoshop has that gimp doesn't.

    Kinda. I've checked in on Gimp several times over the years. I know it's hard to hear, I'm sorry. You're not Photoshop.

    Any actual complaints other than the fact that the UI isn't identical?
