Why do you think we colonised the world? We cant stand being at home!
For one the weather is appalling, the food dull, and we have an incredible wonder lust. Go to almost any holiday destination and there will be a big Brit constituent.

In general I'd like to think there's more good news than bad news out in the world - good news unfortunately, doesnt sell newspapers/news etc so isnt 'profitable'

Looking on all the bad news made it to the media, sometimes I think that the fact the sun rises is actually good news...

Yes I agree, it just does not arouse the sense of indignation and fear required to interest people.

Does it involve scooping out half your brain and filling the empty space with a concentrated testosterone solution?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I had to do some graphics for me wife, something fairly complicated... First time since I started to use it instead of Adobe... It was really fun...

I was amazed by its features of edge-detection (which, it did amazingly!) and animation to the images (waves, ripples etc). GIMP is no wonder the best software to use for image manipulation on Linux environments. On Windows, Adobe may have some cards up their sleeves — but I don't use them, I don't have enough money to put to waste.

Linux support graphics?
Honestly, I don't know how GIMP survives in a world where everything has to be done with the command line.
I'd mark this post as a joke, but I'm not sure I'm joking.

On Fedora I rarely have to drop down to the command line, unless I am building something. Even then, the command line is usually faster than opening an IDE, loading the project, then building the project. I still build a lot of my projects from the command line, and use the IDE for editing. And yes, I usually use Windows/VS (although I have a Fedora VM for testing things).

It seems you long time didn't payed a visit for some Linux...
All those nice graphics software are just work with no command line at all (see for instance Ubuntu Studio)...
In the programming are can be a bit command line, depends on the environment you use, but for building a C++ project all you need is to write 'make' (or ant, or your choice), and if it bothers you, you can create an icon for that, or just add an external tool definition to your editor and run it from there...
The only thing, I found, that forces you to use command line is the maintenance of the OS...not development or other creative works...

I have used the version for windows and was impressed, although what I needed was pretty simple
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Quote: Linux support graphics? You're right, Linux doesn't support graphics. But who uses Linux? We use operating systems such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other flavors of Ubuntu (Kubuntu etc). They all support graphical interface and they excel at it! Trust me, they are a really very much good alternative to Windows (if things start to go south).
Quote: Honestly, I don't know how GIMP survives in a world where everything has to be done with the command line. GIMP is a graphical application, Kubuntu (or any other similar interface providing desktop operating system) supports graphics and thus, GIMP. You can use GIMP in the same way, that you would use Adobe on Windows. The following is my own window of VirtualBox running GIMP on Kubuntu operating system, the current window shows Edge-detection algorithm being run on the image. I would like to recommend to try out a Kubuntu edition of Linux, at least once. I am sure you would love it. Screenshot (3420).png - Google Drive[^]
