Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?
Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.
Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.

Haven’t seen these two paint alternatives mentioned yet:
I think Inkscape is brought up less often because of its focus on vector graphics, which can be confusing to people new to it.
I’m using pinta. When I type “paint” in my xfce search bar, it already brings it up automatically.
GIMP isn’t that hard to use for basics.

Works fine every time I’ve used it in Windows, but I do mostly live in Linux now, so your mileage may vary.
Huh. I barely used it when I was on linux, so… shrug
I’ve been using it off and on for over twenty years and it’s never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time…
