Paint.NET 5.2 Alpha (build 9739) contains extremely experimental support for WINE (which means Linux).
Some of you may be happy to hear this. Some may be not. It may make for some interesting debate, or something like it.
How does a project literally named “.NET” manage to fuck up so bad as to need WINE instead of just Mono?
Holy crap, yay!
Always liked using this program as it has just enough tools to be useful, including addons, but not overbearing for moderate image work.
Edit: A note for the group:
It is NOT “production ready.” I wouldn’t even call it “alpha quality”. It “doesn’t not” work.
Why would I use this over Krita or kolorpaint?
It’s what I’m used to using on my work computer that runs Windows. It’ll be nice using it on Linux too.
Thank you for not saying The Gimp
Nah I’m good.
