It was mentioned by me awhile ago here.

But this just goes to show you there are actually so many applications to cover everything and fill the void, we’re already repeating ourselves in the thread too.

I recall Stevo used to specially package it because it was a surprisingly small package for its capabilities.

https://github.com/Symbian9/azpainter

I think it's not too difficult to work out how to use it. Right clicking on various options/tools does bring up usage hints.
Yes! Interesting how easy you can configure brushes

The one thing I miss in Linux is when running a desktop PC connected to a UPS and the power fails, trying to hurry and do a graceful shutdown of the machine before the UPS battery dies only to be greeted with "Windows is installing your updates. Do not turn off your computer." :eek: :eek: :eek: (I actually had that happen once.)

What I miss are the extra-long boot up times. I no longer have the time to shovel the snow or paint the kitchen.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
