They should be forced to upgrade existing infrastructure and pay for it. They are refusing to pay for it, and the electric companies are passing the costs onto the residents near these data centers, which is grossly unfair.

Not to mention the water depletion and electricity costs that the people who live near AI data centers have to deal with, because tech companies can’t be expected to be responsible for their own usage.

I’m also a Fedora KDE user and I agree with you. The only real gripe I have with it is that if you don’t know about the full version of RPM Fusion, you’ll get frustrated that certain things are missing or don’t work right, and the GUI button to enable third-party repos after installation isn’t enough. I personally just skip that button and enable the full version following the directions on their site and then use Discover to enable Flathub.

A version of Ubuntu that’s nearly 4 years old?

Honestly, this. This is exactly why people don’t trust Canva not to enshittify it. OnlyOffice is also owned by a company, but since it’s free as in freedom, people know they can trust it.

Are the Krita developers paying you to go off the rails like this?

I think you’ve got that backwards.

Not liking the name of the software I use and saying your preferred application is superior is better because it’s prettier are emotional arguments.

I stated that Krita doesn’t do what I need it to do at the moment but would consider switching to it if it did.

I didn’t say the GIMP is better for all use cases. I said it’s better for my use case. And it’s really weird for you to get this defensive when both applications are FOSS.

Some photo editing features were either never added, or they feel clunky to use. Either way, the GIMP is better suited even if it’s uglier.

Krita is a great tool for artists, but I’m not going to force myself to use it instead of the GIMP, and I’m not going to tell others it’s designed for something it’s not. I’ll keep checking in on it, but until it does what I need it to, it’s not going to become my main tool for photo editing.

Krita may have started out as a photo editor, but that’s clearly not its focus today. If I need to edit a photo, I will use a tool better suited for that task, even if that tool isn’t as pretty as Krita.

That’s what I thought. People keep saying Krita is a great alternative to GIMP, Photoshop, and Affinity Photo, but photo editing is not its focus at all.

Isn’t Krita more focused on digital painting than photo editing? I always end up going back to the GIMP because of that even though I use KDE.
