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.

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).

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?
