BoltBait Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The easiest way is to install Windows first, then install Paint.NET. 1 Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Susan Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 But I have Linux, not Windows. Is there an open source version of Paint.net? thanks BoltBait The Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule number 1: When buying a computer, be sure to buy one that will run the software you need. 1 Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptillian Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) You can run a virtual machine, install Windows in it, and then run Paint.NET. Otherwise, you're going to have to go into alternative, and any software that supports G'MIC also provides similar effects to plugins that are offered here. GIMP, Krita, Photoflare, Photoflow all supports G'MIC, but GIMP and Krita offers the best support for it.

There is no current open source version of Paint.NET for any OS, including Windows!

I think your best bet is to 1) purchase a license to run Windows, and 2) download and install VirtualBox. Best of luck.

toe_head2001 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 @mei, I think you've misinterpreted. Linux itself is not a mistake. Choosing to use an operating system, before making sure your software will run on it, is the mistake. I really like and prefer Xbox, and I even got one for free. However, if I want to play Super Mario Bros, I'll need to use a Nintendo. The game won't run on an Xbox. 1 1 1 My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
