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.

No, it's only code and pixels 🙂

Most of all it's photoshopped!

lol .... classic GIMP .... this is becoming the best part of a terrible day

GIMP 3.0 has kinda sorta maybe been released but they're still working on it

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 1 points 8 hours ago

Not necessarily. An insurrection might overthrow the maintainers before they can push the release

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 30 points 13 hours ago

Forget Harris & Trump. Here comes GIMP!

[–] nightm4re@feddit.org 29 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Almost got me cheered up for a second there, GIMP. Nice try.

[–] halm@leminal.space 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Exciting! Hoping the RC process is short for this version 🤞🤞🤞

[–] kubica@fedia.io 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Having an RC is a good sign, we can let them have as many RCs as they need now.

[–] halm@leminal.space 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, fingers crossed for an actual release before New Year, though.

Can't wait, it's becoming really usable (I always needed adjustment layers, and it now mostly has them). I wish they offered an appimage though, I'm not big on flatpaks due to size.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 6 points 12 hours ago

Appimage doesn't do deduplication where possible like Flatpak does, where did you get the idea that Flatpak packages are bigger?

[–] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

There’s third party Appimages. They also had a blog post discussing using Appimages for testing builds. If that gets done, I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer an official build.

It’s about time, after like 20 years.
