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.

that’s a really nice desktop you have there. I legit can’t tell it’s not Windows 7 lol
Thanks! Its KDE
Yeah tbh I also like the design while I wouldnt use it XD
There’s Pinta for the Paint.net users.
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.
