1. okular is the best for pdfs

2. I don’t like Gimp, I like my Photoshop on my 27” iMac. I want to like everything Linux but the reality each system has its pros and cons. I like learning Arduino, Platformio and BASH, as I said I prefer PS on iMac and my Hantek is best on Windows (took me a while to think of something for Windows).

3. This 1 is good!!!

4. exactly gimp is not Photoshop. gimp is better

5. @JessicaFEREM yea the irony of it all!!!

6. Do you still feel that GIMP sucks? (I've been using it as an alternative so long, I don't miss or remember PS anymore)

7. little did he know he'd forget Ps and use gimp

8. So..

   How was Fallout 76?

9. I just came here after watching the video you made about how you can't live without GIMP. Oh, this is absolutely crazy to see you screaming at GIMP.

10. Linux saved you from fallout 76 haha

11. did you ever try using okular to replace acrobat?

12. Ive always thought gimp's logo was a dog

13. Nothing better than photoshop except photoshop

14. I love GIMP I find it super useful and relatively easy. But that said if you hate it I'm VERY curious what it is you're doing with GIMP like legit curious what your workflow is. I mean you have Krita and that's something.

15. Appreciate the honest opinion on gimp, never understood how anyone could prefer it. It feels super unfocused and I've had nothing but frustration trying to use it.

    Also glad to hear you lucked out on not buying fallout 76, I would consider that a plus

16. I tried Gimp several times on my Windows machine … just like Chris, I hate it .. when you come from Photoshop, you know you can create an image with lots and lots of layers, effects etc, on top of each other, it will eat your system memory, but no problem at all … with Gimp, you create like 4 layers, and it miserably crashes … and it felt so slow to me .. basic stuff like a simple selection, and you can feel it struggles, it's slow, laggy etc … you have plenty of bugs too .. and yeah, last but not least, Gimp doesn't have (not even close) all the tools and advanced functions you will find in Photoshop, no … Anybody that says Gimp is Photoshop's twin, is somebody that never used Photoshop, at least for a serious, big project … Gimp is a pretty nice free software, that can do the basic stuff pretty well .. but it's NOT Photoshop !!

17. I find the GIMP UI far more intuitive than Photoshop, but that may be just because I used GIMP years before I even knew Photoshop existed, I was just forced to use it in school. I already struggled a lot just trying to use Windows and then they threw Photoshop at me… Ended up finding a portable version of GIMP 2.6 and used it behind the teacher's back.

18. Switch to a LaTeX PDF editor – short run, it will be annoying and seam to have a huge learning curve. Long run, you will see that it is far superior.

20. I've been playing with Linux a very little so I am probably way off on this idea but here goes just in case. Have you tried Foxit to replace Adobe?

21. From 4:17 to 5:48 I can't stop laugh! Finally someone has told it like it is. I fully agree 🙂

22. Linux saved you money with no Fallout support, way to go linux.
