ProdigalFrog, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

KDE’s MS paint alternative is actually pretty decent, I believe it’s called Kolourpaint.

I’m also aware of Pinta.

thank you very much but is Kolourpaint a web app?? Because I don’t want to install anything from the Linux terminal!! I will use chromeOS with web apps.

ProdigalFrog, (edited )

It’s not a webapp, I recommended them since you mentioned you wanted low storage alternatives in addition to webapps.

MachineFab812,

Then why bother mentioning that you have Linux container enabled?

01adrianrdgz, (edited )
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

because I changed my mind on that, I’m very sorry!! It can be harmful to install through the terminal nya… Also I think it takes more memory and space if I install it like that, that’s why I installed Firefox with the Debian package yes!!

MachineFab812,

You mean a debian package like this one?

Lazpaint might be worth a look. Also Mypaint

shutz, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

01adrianrdgz,
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

yes of course!! Thank you! But I also want a web app for drawing, Photopea is mostly for image editing.

I’m not sure what you mean. Artists use Photoshop for drawing, yet Adobe advertises Photoshop mostly for image editing. Even though Adobe advertises Photoshop for image editing, which should include fully editing your own photographs imo, the only proper Denoise AI is built into Lightroom lol. Photopea also supports pressure sensitivity, so it should work just fine for drawing. Tools aren’t that big of a deal. People who design beautiful presentation decks use PowerPoint after all… with the default system fonts.

Neon and Zorin only bring further division

neige, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

MX, anything else is a farce

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I've been using MX since it was Mepis. I love seeing it said well recommended in this thread. For the old laptop I'll go with AntiX

GreyFalcon, in Manjaro OS

I have manjaro running on six machines. No problems that were not Just part of learning. Two of those computers were for testing different distros… All ended up with Manjaro.

Hate is for people that don’t create, or improve their own world.

kylian0087,

While on one hand Manjaro is very polished. Some things they do is questionable. Like the time they suggested to change your date and time because they let their repo keys expire. Or accidentally DDOS the AUR. Just to name some. The Manjaro team has a rather bad track record of these things.

interceder270,

That stuff is negligible compared to Mint getting hacked and hosting a malicious ISO.

But for some reason you never hear people mention that about Mint 🤷

give azpainter a try, it’s what i used to use for drawing with a 2007 dual core laptop until not too long ago

heads up, the ui is kind of a mess, you most likely will have to re arrange it to your liking and there is a bit of a learning curve there, but it’s a pretty powerful piece of drawing/painting software nonetheless

lurch, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

Idk what “container” means in this case, but gimp is only like 80 MB + some dependencies you probably already have installed. Do you mean RAM or HD memory? In any case it should be much less than 64 GB.

01adrianrdgz,
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

the Linux terminal of chromeOS is a virtual machine but it does affect chromeOS, as in everything that gets downloaded from the terminal will show up as applications of course!!

Qkall, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?
@Qkall@lemmy.ml avatar

Puppy Linux is very active on the 32bit land.

timicin,

either that or damn small linux

Molten_Moron, (edited )

There’s also TinyCore, made by the lead developer of Damn Small Linux after it stopped being developed.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks! I'll check it out

qaz, (edited ) in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

€300 euro for a device with such low specs seems like a pretty bad deal to me. I just looked online and the first result was a Surface Pro 6 with 8GB RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price.

Prunebutt,

The form factor is what makes the device so enticing to me. But maybe going used is the way to go.

qaz, (edited )

Oh, I thought the Go 2 you described was also refurbished because of it’s specs.

Prunebutt,

I’m quite sure they’re new. Out of curiosity: Why do the specs make you think it’s refurbished? AFAIK, refurbishes don’t change the components. ;)

qaz,

Because those specs don’t sound like something you would get on a recent device. I thought 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage was the minimum now for Windows devices but I guess I’m wrong.

Prunebutt,

It’s a bit older, but the other comments kind of convinced me that MS just released a severely underpowered piece of hardware as the “budget option”.

Kind of untypical for them, especially considering that the surface devices are supposed to compete with ipads and Windows 11 is supposed to run on these things.

Euphoma, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

Aggie.io is pretty good, it supports pressure sensitivity and layers. It also has online collaboration.

01adrianrdgz,
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

wait but there is one thing that I need to know!! The “Magma” version of Aggie gives you a commercial license, does that mean that the free version of Aggie will not let you do that?? So that means no commissions or selling your art?? Oh no!!

Euphoma,

I think magma is something else, the tos on aggie.io doesn’t mention anything about copyright.

kent_eh, in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

Probably 2, but as I always use my own images for my desktop anyway, the default wallpaper really doesn’t matter to me.

neat

slembcke, in Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh

Yup, don’t. People already covered why. I will add that I tried learning dvorak for quite a while and it didn’t stick until I went cold turkey. It was very frustrating hunting and pecking for a couple days, but I made pretty quick progress. IIRC I was back up to 20-30 wpm after a week which was “usable” at least, and back to 60-70 wpm after a month. I had regular wrist pain before switching, and it was basically gone after. I don’t think it helped my typing speed. Like I can do 90 in bursts for a bit longer, but generally I “cruise” much slower than that. ;)
