It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win ๐Ÿ˜Ž but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

They make things so much easier, having to make copies of every layer every time just to keep the original in case you need to re-do something half an hour later is super annoying.

Especially if you do multiple different things with a layer. Do you really have the patience to make backuo copies of a layer after every little edit you apply to it?

And then let's say step 2 of 5 didn't turn out like you want. Backup copies or not, you still have to re-do everything from 2 to 5 because of GIMPs destructive nature as of right now

oh so it's basically like a COW fs but for graphics editing? That's pretty slick. I'm sure you could implement something fairly similar to that natively, though it would be a decent bit of work.

It's going to be part of the 3.0 release, after what feels like an eternity. The 2.99 dev release has it already, I might try that
