    or traditional Fedora, which also has often unstable packages, dnf is often unusable

    My experience with dnf is that it’s slow as molasses but your average computer user isn’t gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

    I’ve used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that’s fine.

    so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

    1. File > Export As

    4. Confirm

    1. Right Click the Layer
    2. In the context menu, click Merge Down

    Your examples suck. Got any real examples?

    I’ve tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I’m not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it’s hard to learn.

    I use GIMP for memes and here’s my two favorite tips

    • Hit the forward slash key / to open a command palette and jump to any action

    • To remove backgrounds, use a layer mask. select around the object and paint a white/black section on the layer mask. Here comes the trick: use a Gaussian filter on the layer mask to create a transition from black to white and the crop job looks a lot less choppy.

    My anti-tip

    • Adding text and shapes sucks and I never found a way to make it better. Export your image and finish the job in Krita, Pinta, Photopea, …
