Despite this not being FOSS like GIMP, I think it’s great that there is at least some very viable alternative that can run on Linux even with some workaround, for free (besides Photopea).

Cool! Not libre, but it enables new category of people to comfortably transition to Linux. I can imagine the anger at Adobe 🤣
it will take a while to wipe the smug off their faces, i fear. but it is gonna happen.
Glimpse was actually a good alt to Photoshop which actually was just a refined UI for Gimp under the hood. The project halted after their maintainers decided to stop it. Last I recall, they were definitely open source. IDK which license they used but folks could probably fork it and continue the work there as well.
“Free”, but with a paywall back door .
The AI stuff is paid… if anyone cares for it. I installed it and didn’t have to login anywhere.
But you had to register to get the download file, right?
I had to enter email, I entered a dummy one
Fair enough
Is this better than GIMP?
I’m going to say yes, easily. Even Photopea is significantly better than GIMP. But for most basic tasks GIMP is fine. IDK if GIMP even supports non destructive editing though
it does now, most important feature in gim3 is non destructive layers
Hell yea 🙂
Woah, I guess I’m almost two weeks behind on the news that Affinity is now free!
