dont forget how they expect you to compile it. some projects offer a nice .msi for windows, a .whatever for mac, and then linux users just get a link to their github. i mean cmon.
**
edit: i’m not talking specifically about gimp my dudes.**
I switched to Linux because there were almost no good open source apps on Windows. The comparison is not fair considering how drastically the parameters are changing.
Also a lot of solo devs do try to maintain some community repos.
I’m not trying to disagree but I haven’t come across any projects that only wanted the Linux users to build. You can correct me.
i have found a couple before but havent bothered with them, i don’t remember which they are but it sure peeved me off to be the only one told to “build it yourself”

“They” most of the times is solo devs and you can’t blame them for that. GIMP does have flatpak, appimages, etc.
solo devs can spin windows executables and mac installer but not linux…?

That’s false, not sure why you would say that. Literally just visit the download page
https://krita.org/en/download/
i see what you did there
I sure hope so
this can be solved by using a package manager. because thats what they expect.
compiling a program takes like 2 clicks dude
The fuck are you talking about. It’s available in all the repositories
not all software.
