Brauser, sehr gut

To be fair

  • GIMP is really good
  • GIMP is hella complex to use

For example there was a (now enshittified) tool on Android called "image attacher" or something, for making a long image from 2.

This is probably also pretty easy with some CLI tool.

I actually took the time to learn "how do I attach 2 images together" in GIMP.

Or "how do I create a textmarker".

And the stuff works, but its just very complex.

attach 2 images

  • Open 1 image
  • "open" "open as another layer" the second image
  • your canvas is as big as the first image. Guess how big it has to be when fitting them next to each other
  • know that there is a difference between "layer surface" and "canvas" for whatever reason
  • in the menubar, find the canvas options
  • find where to resize the canvas and make it bigger
  • click on the surface layer of the other image and move it so it fits where you want it
  • use "merge downwards" to make the 2 layer one. BE CAREFUL TO NOT USE ANY IMAGE PARTS
  • use the crop tool
  • crop the new combined images to the wanted size

This is sooo manual and seems very hacky. The difference between canvas and layer make no sense to me. The enlargement is "eyeballing". The cropping too. There is no snapping when placing next to each other. There is no "dynamically increase canvas size" option afafaik.

text marker / highlighter

Something with brush, make it bigger, yellow, reduce the opaqueness, change the paint mode to "only make darker"


GIMP is like using cat awk and tail to write an office document lol. It works but it is damn technical.

But if you know how to do it, you know how to do it.

boredsquirrel ,

Well, there were no real GIMP changes in that period lol

boredsquirrel ,

Yes its always just filters being individually applied.

I also think GPU acceleration is a huge issue in GIMP and I think GIMP 3 still dont really has it.

boredsquirrel ,

I will make a dolphin context menu from that!

boredsquirrel ,

GIMP needs more macros to do basic things. Like dont add more tools, but have a button "textmarker" that automatically selects all the things.

Is this possible via plugins?

This is just like documentation 2.0

boredsquirrel , (Bearbeitet )

I have to try it but I am already on GIMP 3 from flathub-beta (see instructions in my flatpak remote repo)

This is probably pretty useful and I also dont really need the top right stuff but no idea how to remove it.

I dont know if this is some GTK2 style set and never did this, but porting it to GTK3 is VERY likely worth the effort, if it is possible.

Needs to be forked then though.

https://github.com/boredsquirrel/PhotoGIMP

I would remove the differnt launcher entry, even though maybe nice to have. The current GIMP splash screen is extremely ugly, that can go.

I dont like changing the name though.

Will try if it works on Gimp 3 and if not, see if this is fixable.

boredsquirrel ,

I also likely did too many steps. You dont need to merge layers on GIMP. It will also just get flat but I dont know if the cut feature would work.

It VERY likely does.

But having guides everywhere, snapping, is really important.

boredsquirrel ,

I absolutely want to learn GIMP. And as it is extensible, you could literally just implement feature-by-feature stuff like Photoshop, a finally working autoselect of objects etc.

Actually, I will open a feature reques to change the UI to the one of Photoshop. I looked at PhotoGIMP and this looks tooo much easier and more usable.

boredsquirrel ,

Update: PhotoGIMP still works on GIMP 2.99

The configs alone are a bit messy though, contain a lot of random stuff like the device config for the guys mouse.

I think the settings cause a small bug, apart from that I am cleaning them up and will push an initial release soon!

boredsquirrel ,

This is great! Why doesnt distros use this by default???

Just put plasmashell and a few in there and you will have a working oom killer. Finally.

I will install this the first thing tomorrow

Wait... Fedora has this since quite a while, strange.

boredsquirrel ,

Hm.... the process itself should not take that much RAM. I dont know if normally the OS should assign the max RAM to the program.

But this should not happen and I wonder how "just letting it freeze" works

boredsquirrel ,

Ok so killing is worse than just keeping alive.

This is a fair point.

I dont know a good solution for this, not killing but freezing is likely the best.

I dont know

boredsquirrel ,

Literally yes

This was pretty informative and shocking.

And then Chris Titus made this video

They literally record everything you do, at least if it is a "Copilot plus" PC with a "neural engine".

boredsquirrel ,

Geht es hier um Flüchtenden-Schleuser? Oder wird das Wort noch irgendwo verwendet?

boredsquirrel ,

Bullshit Titel

Es geht darum, dass Menschen die ein foto als Beweismittel abspeichern etc. nicht in den Knast gehen

Unsere Polizei ist so dämlich, dass man ohne Beweisbilder nichts erreichen könnte, dieses Gesetz ist Irrsinn

boredsquirrel OP ,

I think this is nice but also adds some bloat.

Like that OpenSUSE model only works if both use XOrg, so if XOrg breaks it doesnt work.

On Wayland, either DEs get their shit together and share libraries, or GNOME, KDE, Wayfire, labwc, COSMIC, and in the future XFCE, Cinnamon and more all use their own stuff.

This would mean you need to add another wayland compositor and the GUI stuff.

There is a bit of a lack of complete minimal DEs. Raspberry Pi has their stuff based on Wayfire, LXQt 6.1 will be wayland ready and can be used with many compositors.

These would be good candidates, but really what is a broken Desktop?

But I will do a post in Fedora discuss about this, even though I dont think the Atomic variants need it.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Thats why you have RedHat, SUSE, Canonical etc. Legal entities that offer warranty for that random bundle. Insurance that issues will be fixed.

Because if you are just "a racoon digging for free code" you have nothing to request from anyone.

boredsquirrel OP ,

You can just place this file to disable the component entirely.

The getnewstuff needs an overhaul, but not related to this. This is about the naming of global themes.

boredsquirrel OP ,

A "global theme" which is a set of themes, widgets, splash screens, cursors etc.

I dont think the inclusion of code is the problem, but that the bundle had a script for installation that was faulty.

Using [ -e $VARIABLE] && do something with $VARIABLE would have solved it.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Same, but a few Plasmoids are nice to have..

I also like it simpler than stock KDE. no sounds, no floating, no animations.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Yes, Gitea is a fork of Gog, and Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Gitea messed up their finance stuff, has a for profit company and did a lot of shady swaps without transparency.

Forgejo is sponsored by the nonprofit Codeberg [something] and is hosted on Codeberg.

boredsquirrel OP ,

I dont know how much it costs to host such a server, 10€ per month?

I mean if you dont even use your software for real work i.e. a big project, how do you test it?

boredsquirrel ,

I mean not having a clipboard manager is pretty bad, even Win11 has that.

boredsquirrel ,

Slowroll does sound like a great model for versioning and patching software.

But for the actual package management I dont want to use anything but rpm-ostree. The immutable OpenSUSE variants are a joke and dont offer any real benefits over Tumbleweed to my knowledge (after having researched them).

Fedora may offer that "more stable package set" when sticking to the old release, currently F39. Not its still less seemless.

boredsquirrel ,

True that. Even though Ptyxis is not needed on Kinoite as Konsole profiles do literally that.

boredsquirrel ,

Bazzite is based on Kinoite but adds A TON of rpms to the base.

Rather than using WINE through Flatpak (Bottles, Lutris, Cartridges + ProtonUpQt) it is on the system. This has some performance benefits and makes using it way easier, but you now run random Windows software unsandboxed. If it wants to it can do whatever it wants.

And some more.

https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/?tab=readme-ov-file#about--features

boredsquirrel ,

"Gaming" i.e. Windows emulation for GPU heavy stuff.

It is not gaming, it is running Windows software on Linux.

boredsquirrel ,

Lol GNOME vs XFCE, that was absolutely the right decision XD

GNOME is worlds better. But KDE "Plasma" (I hate this name) was like "this is how Windows should look like"

boredsquirrel ,

I find it odd to call it "gaming on Linux" as its simply running Windows software

boredsquirrel ,

I didnt test GNOME or KDE for accessibility but I know KDE 5.27 had various different zoom features while GNOME doesnt.

Orca runs on both but no idea where better.

Both are using Wayland on Fedora and that is pretty problematic poorly, as all apps are different and I assume many dont support the correct portal/API/push service for screenreaders.

The rest seems integration. KDE and GNOME use Packagekit on traditional Fedora.

boredsquirrel ,

Funny, thanks for the info.

boredsquirrel ,

Interesting! This sounds actually useful for transparency, but fine?

boredsquirrel ,

I just tried it and it lacks some basic stuff like drag to edge for resizing. The apps are really minimalist though and it should really run everywhere.

boredsquirrel ,

I agree a lot. Had Vista and XP machines in the past.

Then mainly used Win10 and KDE Plasma was a solid upgrade.

But they really copied the Win10 look which is atrocious. I agree that WinXP and 7 and the era where way better.

There are themes for everything though. Its just theming. I dont know if all apps support it and have never dealt with it, as Breeze works pretty well with Adwaita and Electron apps too.

I think there are Kvantum themes for this?

boredsquirrel ,

I looked but couldnt find it.

Tbh I like some of the more modern things, and they are for sure easier to unify. When theming like that, you also need a GTK3 theme, a GTK4 color scheme, a firefox theme etc.

And many of these toolkits dont support big themes anymore, just swapping colors.
