Isn't GIMP explicitly a GTK app?
GIMP is the original GTK app. The first version of GTK was created specifically for GIMP, and it was initially named GIMP ToolKit.
What was it, the G in GTK stands for GIMP, and the G in GIMP stands for GNU, and the G in GNU stands for GNU, and...
GNU's Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service's Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service's Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service[...]'s Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service's Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service Image Manipulation Program Toolkit
You know, I think if Stallman had put as much thought into the code of HURD as he did the acronym, Linus Torvalds wouldn't be where he is today.
And the G in GNU stands for GNU and GNU stand for GNU's Not Unix and the G stands for GNU...
Actually GTK is explicitly a GIMP library.
We don't much take kindly to logic in these here parts, stranger.
And minorly redundant to krita now.
Gimp supports wayland, Krita doesnt. So not at all.
Also plugin support is better with gimp afaik.
Pen support etc is way better under krita. They both have pros and cons.
Idk I tried a Wacom tablet on KDE Plasma 6.5 wayland, all fine, worked fine in GIMP 3 too with pressure sensitivity and all
It can work is different than being designed around.
It is just input lol
