You should always reinstall when switching motherboard. There’s so many drivers that could possible make a problem. Unless you switch between 2 totally identical motherboards… Then give that a go…

So, they know it’s only windows users that downloads it? Interesting - their version 17 must have sucked so much that people switched back, and now they give it another go?

They are not ready. They took several years to master Windows to just a minimum of use. They don’t have the money to pay for help if problems occur. They don’t have someone in their network that can help them. They need a specific app to work flawlessly for either job or hobby. There’s a lot of good reasons. But there are getting less of them, while Linux is evolving.

And of the two of us, it was you who started to write to me… You’re the troll, but I guess you don’t even understand that.

Read my comment again. Stop wasting my time and yours.

I literally wrote that…

Flatpak is not desireable… Linux needs a faster way to get the new apps in their software catalog…

The main problem is, that BigTech abuses the inner fire of Open Source developers. They monetize it, but don’t send money to the makers… They send the money to their shareholders.

Thunderbird - on my PC and Mobile… Always worked flawlessly - both with my different mail-services and my own domain name mail server…

My recommendation is, that you read ALL the other post about the same topic. Because there are plenty of answers to your question there.

Linux Mint is very user friendly, it’s build on debian (like Ubuntu), it’s easy to install Steam. Prior bad experiences might have been happening for a number of reasons, but I’d still give it a go…

Yeah, it is on the roadmap. So it’s pretty harsh to keep whining about it. It’s not like it’s something that is impossible to do. It’s not like people support the development that much or at all… It’s just (I want more free stuff, buhuuu)…

It’s a nice to have in software like GIMP, it’s not need to have.

When you are going to be stupid about it, yeah… It’s not that hard, and you simply can’t accept it. You want it easier, well, good for you, you can do that…

I’m sorry to hear, that it’s that difficult for you to draw a circle. It takes me about 15 seconds to make the perfect circle I want. To me, that is simply the time it takes to make it perfect. If I just want a circle, I can do that much quicker…

So how many times a day do you need to make a circle? When I use Affinity, Inkscape, Krita, GIMP, I don’t very often draw a circle. Most of the time, I do it in Inkscape, because it’s great to make shapes, but there’s a wast difference between a program to make vector graphics, and to make and edit bitmap pictures.

Well, if you can’t make a circle in GIMP, then you have quite a lot to learn. I just asked my kid who’s 7, and she easily makes a circle. She would like to show me all the shapes she makes in a minute or two… When I asked her, she made a square, rectangle, triangle, drop, circle, star, lightning, oval, cros and a few more, where she named them all… She had fun doing it, so thanks for that… But please, go practice. BTW I like Krita too - I just don’t feel the need to blame any tool for being different from another. :-)

Can I ask you… how often do you really draw a circle, for this to be an issue?

Here’s a little guide. My daughter uses the selection tool, to make a lot of shapes… ;-)

The one she likes… How about listening to her needs, and then show here some examples, and let her choose?

I’d present her with Mint and Ubuntu - and then what you know is her “style”…

I use AMD, where ever it is possible. Simply because they support Linux. There’s really no other reason needed. I don’t care about CUDA or anything else, that is vaguely not relevant. I’d rather drive a medium car, that gives me freedom, than a high end car, that ties me down.

Going to download it now - and I really like using it! :-)

What a truly stupid thing to say. Google is responsible for that - and the Tech companies, who fired their ethical departments, to release AI without given any thought to the damage is has done, and will do.

Which is intentional. It’s Googles way to make you annoyed enough to not choose anything but their apps…
