Unfortunately mint's file picker dialogue doesn't have grid view yet - I think Gnome just got it a few versions ago. A workaround for now is to find stuff in the normal file browser, copy a file, then paste that into the directory in the file picker (control+L to edit the directory as text), then press enter.

Admiral balls.

They're a parody account

Probably won't use that myself, but seems like a nice option, especially for larger screens.

Oop my bad lol

Man there's a lot of really stupid shit in here.

Yes having a simple to use shape tool is nice. And it's on the roadmap so no, it doesn't go against some weird vaguely defined "core value" of gimp.

I wouldn't have switched personally if Linux ui was still shit. I put the effort into learning because the initial experience was good enough to warrent delving deeper into it.

Like others have said, it's on the roadmap. They just need (or want) to add vector layers first. So progress is being made.

Propaganda for what?

Thank you this is beautiful I'm saving it forever.
