  • I tried it. Didn’t like it at all. Feels like a vibe coded fork of GIMP. Which is a bit concerning since FP is closed source and would be infringing GIMP’S license if it was the case.

    Maybe it’s just libadwaita or whatever, but idk. Anyways, GIMP (while unintuitive for me) is much more powerful. Fog Panther is paid, closed source, and widely unadopted. So you could pay for this and then this project gets abandoned and you threw your money to the trash. I would either use Affinity or just donate to GIMP. But definitely not this.

    Still, nice to have another contender in this race to an actually usable alternative to Photoshop on Linux.









  • Actually, IIRC they did some stuff in plain text. Best case scenario they are the same, it’s just that these corsairs work for a different crown.

    Right now, for FOSS projects the best alternative to Discord seems to be Fluxer (or XMPP if you don’t need voice channels). Best alternative to WhatsApp / Telegram looks to be XMPP.

    However, there are more popular alternatives to those, however they come with more privacy concerns.

    Discord/Slack:

    Matrix is more popular among FOSS projects that chose a FOSS messaging platform. Leaks metadata.

    WhatsApp / Telegram

    Signal

    Centralized. Leaks metadata.
