AvaloniaILSpy VS release

Keep in mind there's AvaloniaILSpy for non-Windows users.

Sad that it is not running on macOS. For the last few years I used Gimp, but I have a feeling that Gimp is getting more and more unintuitive nowadays (if it ever was intuitive).

Recently I needed to do some ad-hoc drawings and I found myself using one of these online paint clones. There is plenty of them.

I would really love to have Paint.NET on macOS. I think MS efforts for making .NET cross platforms are somehow half-assed. They ported just as much to run web apps and REST services but totally gave up on GUI stuff. Maybe it's their strategy to lock devs to windows machines, as there are many tools like ILSpy that .NET devs often use.

The community answer, the last time I checked, was AvaloniaUI (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) which is cross platform port of WPF (at least XAML based). ILSpy is already ported to it (https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy) but it runs poorly on Linux (I have experienced random crashes and UI problems). I hope the project will do well and within a year or two we will also see port of Pain.NET.

If you need to view IL on Linux/Mac, you can use this: https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy

ILSpy - icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy: Avalonia-based .NET Decompiler (port of ILSpy) (github.com)

I changed the sprite myself using Paint.NET which is a free graphics program similar to the Paint that comes with Windows.

Why download from a different site, when you can get it directly from GitHub?

For some reason, when downloading through the installer offered on the website, I got the same error. Luckily for you and I, paint.net hosts their offline installers for the latest version on GitHub. On Windows 11, the x64 portable install and the MSI worked just fine, but the regular installer didn't.

In the meantime, you can download Paint.NET from GitHub: https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases

Paint.net 4.3 just came out and has shifted from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 5. I was wondering if this would make it possible to run through wine somehow? The portable installer doesn't seem to work, however the regular installer goes through to the point where it tries to install a windows update and asks you to restart the system, however when you do, it will continue to ask you to restart your system the next time you run the installer. Here's a link to the releases on the github repo, thanks for any help to get this working on linux in advance! https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases

Download paint.net (portable, in my case) https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases/tag/v4.3
