At least we got gimp 3 before GTA VI
I've got fucking Tux Racing, and every time I boot it up my screen starts flickering and my cd-tray starts opening and closing so fast, the friction starts making smoke and triggering a full scale evacuation.
I fucking love ubuntu
I just wish the GIMP devs would change that stupid name. Half the reason I'm recommending Krita instead these days instead is because I don't feel comfortable saying "gimp" in polite company. Don't get me wrong, I love transgressive art, I'm no prude. But I think it's time to advance beyond juvenile humour when naming general-audience programs like this.
I could probably call it GNU Imp, which stays on brand with other GNU packages. Imp is still kinda awkward but at least it's not a sex joke.
It's sad because the mascot for the program is really cute.
I think Imp is a great idea for a name. Easy to say, easy to spell, and it has a playful connotation.
