You should check out Pinta then, I find it easier to use than Paint.net, yet reasonably feature-packed (obviously nowhere near GIMP/Photoshop).

If you’re interested, there’s a patch for it that makes it look and behave more like Photoshop.

[Meta] I don’t think there’s a need to cross-post this within Beehaw. Beehaw is low-activity as it is (in terms of new posts) so most people here would be just browsing new/local so they’d be seeing this post in their feed twice.

Even if you’re not browsing by local, most people in this community would likely also be subscribed to the Technology community as well, so again, there’s a double-up.

So what’s cool or moe about this? The Github page doesn’t list any details on how this is different from Telegram X, no screenshots either.

It’s not FOSS, but have you tried Join? It was basically created as a response to Pushbullet pulling their paywall stunt, so most disgruntled PB users switched to Join. It’s made by the same guy who maintains Tasker btw, joaomgcd.

I’m curious what “basic settings” require you to touch the command line. My elderly mum and dad - who aren’t very tech savvy btw - have been running Linux for nearly a decade now (Xubuntu previously, now Zorin) and haven’t had any major issues in all this time. Admittedly their requirements are pretty basic, but they do all your tasks a typical basic PC user would - surf the web, check emails, work on documents, print and scan stuff, backup files from their phones/USB drives, video chat etc. In fact, the entire reason why I got them onto Linux in the first place was because Windows wasn’t really stable for them - I got tired of having to troubleshoot or reinstall Windows for them all the time. They’d complain about how an update broke something, or how the system was becoming slower etc. But no such issues with Linux. Occasionally I might get a call asking “how do I do this”, but after a few years, these support calls have all but vanished. Linux “just works” for them, it’s rock solid, the GUI is intuitive (at least for Xububtu/Zorin) and they never had to touch the command line.
