  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    We are all so entitled.

    That's exactly my issue with GIMP. We are all so entitled, even GIMP devs.

    You don't want to include a feature to draw an editable circle/square/polygon? Fine, but then don't get superdefensive nor "counterattack" when people ask you about this feature. All in all, pretty much every other image manipulation program has it, so it's understandable people wonder why GIMP doesn't have it. I for one still can't wrap my head around why this is a no-no for some people. It doesn't make any sense.

    When I was majoring as graphic designer I used to use GIMP for a bunch of stuff, even played with python-fu and saved me some time I never would have saved with Photoshop or some shit like that, but even back then they always answered to everything some variation of "we are short on resources". Well at that time Krita (which was even called Kpaint) had even less resources than GIMP and look at them now.
