From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

L take. I agree it's behind modern image manipulation software, but it does almost everything that Photoshop did in the early 2010's at least. It's considerably better than current-day paint.
I use gimp daily, but it is still far, far behind photoshop from when I was studying and that was pre 2010.
The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.
It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I'm still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.
