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.
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.
