Anon shows off Linux in class

Anon doesn't know how to draw a circle in GIMP
Skill issue
- But seriously, how do you do it?
  
  Circular selection, fill?
  Or, for an annulus: circular selection, border, enter border width, fill.
  Or, for any selection in general: edit, stroke selection.
  
  The same way you do it in Photoshop, really
  
  Choose the circular pattern on the pencil tool and set the width to your desired diameter.
- Got to say that I had some trouble with that on gimp, but it's possible!

I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.
Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol
I think there's even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don't have to even bother finding a pirate copy.
- Or just use Photoshop online works for me
- Where would one find this script?
  
  https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux
  This is 2021 and 2022, not sure if someone has mad a newer one.

Okay but starting a lesson on Photoshop with the circle tool is like starting a lesson on Word with inserting a table. If working with abstract shapes is your modus operandi something like Illustrator or Inkscape makes a lot more sense as a tool.
- Also beating up your students on the parking lot sound very fun to end the day but have no value in education
  
  Nanny state
  
  The beatings will continue until Photoshop is mastered.
- Dude.... idk if I know if I've ever seen a more accurate simile than that. Equally "buggy*", frustrating, and absurd if you have little to no experience with it
  *idr word tables well but I suspect it was like pen tool where it wasn't so much buggy as it's hard to make it work right if you don't get it yet

i like the one about anon compiling a very minimal kernel on arch and whoops cant present to class because hdmi out doesnt work lol
- Some of my more memorable experiences in gentoo over the years have been from trying to trim everything I can out from my kernel. It tends to work, until it doesn't.

Anon went on to develop Krita.
- Krita >>> gimp Fight me

Lol in hungary we used gimp because the school couldnt afford photoshop(it was one of the best schools in the country).
- If it gets the job done, then it's fine, right
  
  Yeah it works for me but for professional work it probably wouldnt.
- Shits expensive AF.
- ugyanitt bojler eladó
  
  Nem lopott, nem hasznalt

Meanwhile several others tried to buy Photoshop on their proprietary systems but couldn't afford it. They opened Paint.
- pirating it is pretty fast & easy
  
  Not even closely. At least getting it not bitch about not being "genuine" after a few minutes.
  Other Adobe products? Yeah they are easy.
  
  And secure?
  
  I've found they tend to work until they don't. I saw one that worked for a year, and then something changed and it started birching about being non genuine
- And even they could draw a circle. Poor anon.
  No wonder they beat them up on the parking lot.

Don't mess with the BSD gang, let this be a lesson to anon.
Stealing from 4chan, we really are reddit's child.
- This is literally the greentext community; where else is the content supposed to come from?
  
  Just joking, because people used to complain about this for whatever reason on reddit, and 4chan.

I actually remember trying to draw a circle with gimp one time. It was actually completely fucked. I was looking for stroke selection or something like that. I never drew the goddamn Circle. Fuck you that shit sucks
- From memory ..
  Select tool and draw circle.
  Select option menu then click 'to path'
  Unselect all
  Somewhere nearby there is a fill stroke to path or something.
  Yeah...I'm considering going over to paint.net or something else.
  
  Krita is fabulous!

Anon appreciates the chaturbate ads embedded in his start menu

Is this the most reposted greentext?

Photopea
- if it had a lifetime license I wouldnt actually mind paying!

Use Krita?

Anon could’ve just opened a browser and went to photopea.com
- In 2016?
  
  Yes

Is nobody going to ask how Anon getting beat up in the parking lot is relevant to the story? There’s no indication that Anon’s classmates followed them out to the parking lot. The incident feels more random.
Am I overthinking this instead of drifting off to sleep? Most likely.
- Of course it happened exactly like that. Nobody would ever just make shit up on 4chan, right?
- The joke is that Anon is a very irresistibly punchable sort of person and so of course they would be a victim of violence. A common theme in greentexts is projected anxiety about peer rejection for not conforming.
  
  Isn't this greentext mocking Linux users? Am I not understanding and the author's perspective is actually that they like Linux but feel ostracized?
  
  Anon has backpfeifengesicht.
- Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
- I guess what is being implied is that Anon is an insufferable "linux is better then windows" nerd and that the bullying is therefore "justified".
  But don't read too much into it, it's just a funny 4chan haha greentext.
- Yeah, it's just funny haha. So just go to sleep 😴.

- (Yes you are)
  
  Thanks mom!
- neither is windows mac dos bsd nor any other os or device tbh

Seriously though, why is gimp missing features from kidpix
- It's not missing a feature here, it just has a different way to do it. Pick the Ellipse selection tool, make an oval while holding "shift", right click Edit stroke selection.
  
  No surprise their market share is garbage despite being free

Where’s this school that does Photoshop class and the school doesn’t provide the software and equipment?
- Hey something's fishy here! I'm starting to think this guy wasn't beat up in the parking lot either

Anon discovers he should bought a Mac if he likes *nix and being a normie.
