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.

From the update:
It'll take some time, but it seems like improvments may be coming.
That's pretty neat. I do hope they do some solid UI/UX research on it, and figure out their own way of smoothing things out without simply "making it like Photoshop" like the grouchy masses are clamoring for. :p
Blender had some odd ideas at first, but I really appreciate their unique approach that, IMHO, makes an Autodesk product feel heavy and kludgy by comparison.
Please don't. Existing workflows in the tough spots are 100% workarounds.
Having a hotkey for the zoom tool is a workaround for not being able to scroll the mouse wheel without holding a key down or changing settings.
It's already been done

I was already aware of this fork. I haven't tried it, but does it really fix most of the UX issues of GIMP?
i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.
Ohhh great. Their UI always seemed old and crappy.
