Hey guys! I just wanted to share a proof of concept real quick. No hate at all to GIMP or Pinta, but I just really love Paint.net as I’ve been using it for over a decade. And since I completely switched over to Arch a year ago, that means the only way I can enjoy using Paint.net again is if I add all the missing Direct 2D implementations. How hard could it be? 😅
As you can see, it’s not perfect… or even usable, but it loads without crashing! And that’s good enough for me to call it quits tonight.
Paint.net is genuinely the only software that I have missed since leaving Windows behind. Thanks for giving me some hope
Awesome! Pinta is good but paint.net is great.
Any changes on some information or links to replicate this? Paint.net is currently a berry big reason duo boot into windows
Psst. I got really good progress over the weekend.
If all you need is basic paint-link functionality on Linux then you might like drawing. It is already in the Debian repositories too.
No, I need to improve wine’s lack of direct 2D and uianimation implementations 😁 there’s about 100 or so unimplemented functions calling my name.
There’s Pinta for the Paint.net users.
