Basic things everywhere are removed or not added. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dallen@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter … permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) So you mean... editing images (in the viewer, screenshot tool) being allowed to customize the UI of any app changing the login screen (gdm) background creating a textfile from the filemanager editing .desktop entries graphically ... ? Hahaha, I disagree permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dallen@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Yea, none of those things matter to me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

What app do you use for editing images, or dont you do this at all? On GNOME either using Gwenview (KDE) or GIMP, Krita, Kolourpaint, Pinta would work. Which are all very big programs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dallen@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool. In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago I have given in to GNOME.
