Always has been, and I am using Linux since 1993 (my first install was kernel 0.99, on floppies, on a 486DX50)
Can't go back that far, but this reads like the first few responses from a question asked in #slackware on IRC.
Kolourpaint is exactly like mspaint but on linux. It's perfect for everything from simple to intermediate tasks
I dunno if it was you asking the question or not but ^^;; if you want some decent replacements for gimp I recommend krita, it's more Photoshop like and honestly it's my go-to however there is also photopea which is a browser editor that I heard is actually pretty good, and if you're on Mac or Windows (if so I dunno why you'd post here XD) I recommend the Affinity suit, it's cheaper than Photoshop and it's a one time payment instead of a subscription.
Affinity really needs to start making official Linux ports. It’ll work in Wine, but is a bit janky.
I really, REALLY hope canva won't screw up affinity.
Oh fuck. I didn’t realize they’d been bought… let alone by another god-forsaken cloud-subscription-based business model.
Affinity is as good as dead.
Hint: :q!
