Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

OK nice but I counter with my favorite free contemporary painter software.https://krita.org/en/ krita is amazing and works with almost any drawing pad including pressure levels and tilt.  There are a lot more as well but it is overall the best free program I have tried.  Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I like the GIMP, it is very powerful.

I Like the krita too.

This Amiga clone in python is very cool, and cans save image in IFF format.

An other DPaint clone is the GrafX2  http://grafx2.chez.com/

Best regards,

It must be me......

I like MS Paint, and I use it to create simple things in NO time at all.
Thank you for hinting Krita. I installed krita, and tried to make a simple thing.

"this option is not available in the chosen layer"
"you cannot use this brush"

I have been looking at MS Paint alternatives for soooooo long. The only programs I found is programs that are made to create beautiful art. Multiple layers, soo many options, beautiful, but way to complex for what I need.

Just paste a jpeg in it, and place an arrow where the focus should be, add some explaining text, save it, done. That is all I need. What layer ?... I don't care.

I am back to MS Paint in Wine.

Yes, for an artist all the options are great but for me they just get in the way. Paint is easier and quicker.

Best regards,

my Windows default graphics program is Paint.net.I looked at GrafX2.
I'm probably too used to the Windows Gui, so it's difficult to get used to it at first.
But GrafX2 comes with a couple of nice AMIGA Style 8x8 fonts, with which you can certainly do nice things on the *Mites.

here a first translation:

Thanks for the pointer to KolourPaint, hopefully it is more stable than Pinta which keeps crashing for me on Ubuntu 23. And I agree with everyone saying that sometimes you just want something simple for some "programmer graphics" rather than something designed for artists and photographers.

Best wishes,

This may be of use for many. Free cross-platform image editor

 I can't try it out as I need Libc6 older version for a few programs.
 Hope it is of use to the other OS users.
