📰 I ditched GIMP for Krita and never looked back
When I made the jump from Windows to Linux midway through 2025, I knew I had to find an alternative to one of my favorite image editors, Paint.net. It was simple, it did the job, and unfortunately, it wasn't on Linux. So, I went for the next-best thing I could think of off the top of my head: GIMP.

📰 The most underrated Windows feature is the built-in OpenSSH server
Windows has spent years trying to catch up with workflows that Linux users have taken for granted. Things like package managers, proper terminals, and scripting have slowly improved, but one feature still flies under the radar more than it should. Modern versions of Windows ship with a built-in OpenSSH server. It’s not something you have to install separately from a random GitHub page. It is part of the operating system itself.

📰Linux users swear by simple tools, and now I finally understand why
Back when I was a full-time Windows user, I didn't understand why Linux users relied so much on simple tools.

I didn't understand it. I liked my modern-day flashy apps.
