1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    Non destructive means like when you use a tool to add something, it isn't "final". You can still edit that brush stroke or resize a shape?

    Kind of like in Inkscape when you edit an SVG?

    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.

    Yes exactly. I used Gimp extensively (i think 2.8?) back in the day, and especially text was a pain to work with. If you rotated or resized text, you couldn't change what the text said anymore.

    Another example is making a layer grayscale. In gimp it would make the whole layer grayscale without any way to revert it. In Photoshop it sort of is like an extra "layer" on top of your colored layer that you can turn on and off, making it "non-destructive"

    Nowadays I mainly use Illustrator for work, so I could indeed probably give Inscape a good try. But sometimes you just need to work with pixels and gimps destructive workflow is just a dealbreaker for me. Still, it's impressive that the team got it so far, and I hope one day it will do a Blender and become the powehouse it deserves to be.

    Yeah I've been using Inkscape instead for all my drawing needs for quite a while now. I find working with vector graphics to be much easier. Each thing you add is an object that can be altered continuously.

    Plus I like that you can export to other formats at any size or any scale without loss.
