Despite this not being FOSS like GIMP, I think it’s great that there is at least some very viable alternative that can run on Linux even with some workaround, for free (besides Photopea).
Just remember folks…if it’s not open source, and you’re not paying for the product, then you ARE the product. Likely a tracking nightmare.
Cool! Not libre, but it enables new category of people to comfortably transition to Linux. I can imagine the anger at Adobe 🤣
it will take a while to wipe the smug off their faces, i fear. but it is gonna happen.
Is this better than GIMP?
I’m going to say yes, easily. Even Photopea is significantly better than GIMP. But for most basic tasks GIMP is fine. IDK if GIMP even supports non destructive editing though
Glimpse was actually a good alt to Photoshop which actually was just a refined UI for Gimp under the hood. The project halted after their maintainers decided to stop it. Last I recall, they were definitely open source. IDK which license they used but folks could probably fork it and continue the work there as well.
