A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

So here's something I learned about two years ago. GIMP sucks.

Hate on me all you like, but paint.net is the superior program.

Open office is fine. I got it to write up resumes and the few odd things. It did it's job fine.

Spreadsheets is a different thing because I only use Excel at work and haven't looked into it past that.

Have you tried newer versions of Gimp? It's taken major strides forward.

As it may have, there‘s still no equivalent to PS’ smart objects, unfortunately. That’s by far the biggest deal breaker to me.

GIMP sucks so much that I prefer installing a virtual Windows machine running Photoshop to using GIMP.
