GIMP isn't that hard to use for basics.

I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn't know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

I personally think that's the point. It just mocks the Linux Fanboys.

4chan greentext is mostly fanfic, always has been

It reads to me more as joke than something that tries to sell itself as a true story

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Lol this resonates with me as a disorganized person

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This one always gets a chuckle out of me.

Glad I made you happy!

Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven't looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've been using it off and on for over twenty years and it's never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time...

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Fair enough, I haven't looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that's just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Works fine every time I've used it in Windows, but I do mostly live in Linux now, so your mileage may vary.

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Huh. I barely used it when I was on linux, so.. shrug
