PhotoGIMP VS org.gimp.GIMP

I used to use PhotoShop heavily and still have a lot of the UI muscle-memorized. I switched to GIMP + https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP and found it mostly fits my needs for basic image editing.

There's also photoGimp:

But it's interesting if we can get FOSS Gui toolkits that allow for different approaches to menu/toolbar/discovery where the user can easily adjust and select how things should work - like readline Emacs/vi selection on steroids for Gui.

There is this project that might help you:

I doubt it, code needs to be maintained , even if you will get stuck on old libraries you could miss out on features and improvement, of course if the changes are small and it's more like a patchset (something like photogimp) , that might be more feasible.

I don't like gimp at all, but you can still try PhotoGimp.

did you try PhotoGIMP?

See https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/graphs/code-frequency

Depending on what exactly you use Photoshop for, you can try alternatives like Gimp, Darktable, or Krita.

You could install the flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gimp.GIMP, which might limit it somewhat.

Flatpak: 2.10.30, 2021-Dec-26

Yes, and the Flatpak is officially maintained by Gimp developers.

No, you don't.

For anyone wanting to try alternatives, Gimp is great. There's also a project called PhotoGIMP that makes the layout more like photoshop if you want that.
