  • Keep it like it is, and make a point to explain to anybody what your views are. I understand you not wanting to be considered a Nazi, but it is still ab almost 100 years old piece of history and I think it would be a pity to trash it.

    Never forget history, means also keep “historic memorabilia”. There is nothing bad in keeping a piece of history, good or bad, it’s all our history and we should always be wary of trying to " trash it ".

    Edit: you should edit your post and specify its not original. Them just trash it or melt if you can use the materials.



  • Gimp issue is not the name, it’s the outdated UI and the dumb usage decisions like saving only in it’s format. I moved to krita some years ago and I think that’s the future. Gimp will still be along for a long time, and it should as its a great piece of software. Bit that’s it.

    Alternatives are good, and having krita and gimp is good.

    Gimp name? Never even occurred to me that could be offensive. Not American here. Americans, get out of your asses (joking)… You are often offensive to the world but you don’t care (not so much joking, and ofc I am wrong in generalization), so why should the others?

    Is this on your personal work PC or company wide?

    Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)

    Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…









  • Its a solution to one of the typical Linux issues. Its a step toward overcaming the fragmentation of Linux package managers.

    I don’t personally like it too much, I prefer the distro package stuff, but I understand the app developers cannot manage a plethora of different package formats.

    Distro maintainters should, but its clearly more and more a massive task for different distros to keep up with the amount of apps out there.

    Also, npm, pip and the various “packaging” ways existing add to the chaos.

    I see distro package managers converge toward providing basic packages for the general system and some other solution like flatpack to provide additional stuff.

    I think it would be wrong for flatpack/containers to replace package managers as well, it’s not their scope.
