This. Paint.NET is what I'm missing on my Mac so much.

Paint.Net is good, indeed. Let Krita be your new friend. https://krita.org/en/

I LOVE Krita BUT I would not say that Krita is NOT the same thing.

I use four graphics tools in Linux.

1) Inkscape (Vector paint program) I also use it on Windows though I have a Adobe license

2) Gimp (My go to raster image editor)

3) Krita my go to paint program and not really for raster image editing

4) Aftershot Pro - My raw image and editing tool for quick photo edits

Krita is more comparable to Corel Paint then to Photoshop or Gimp.

Would be nice if I didn't need the half the KDE desktop for it.

That is right there with RPM vs DEB debates and "RPM dependency hell."

75 MB appimage download then! https://krita.org/en/item/krita-3-0-released/

I've been spending some time putting together a framework for .NET Core API/platform development. The main problem with it currently is the lack of compatible libraries - I've had issues with DI containers, cloud provider libraries, AOP frameworks and more. Not to mention EF Core is still way off in terms of production viability. ASP.NET Core is very tasty as a plus.. and there's always Mono to fill the gap in terms…

I've discovered Autofac has good support for CoreCLR. Plus it's well designed and powerful.

I can attest to how well designed Autofac is.

I had to decide on which DI framework to use on a small front end WPF application that I worked on at a job last year (the app had a lot of singleton classes that were impossible to unit test hence why I needed to introduce a DI framework). I'd come from a job where larger framework choices had been made years prior by senior developers and their framework of choice at the time was Microsoft's Unity so that was what I had worked with for ~5 years. After a week or so of research and deliberation I decided to go with Autofac and found it to be really easy to set up and use. For me it hit the sweet spot between built in functionality and performance.

It was my understanding that Pinta is essentially Paint.NET, and is available on Mac as well as Linux and Windows: https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/

Well, it's like comparing a go-kart to a sportscar. Pinta crashes on me a lot and has a fraction of the features.

Paint.net has feature? I find it is just a simple quick raster editor with little to no features. What am I missing?

Pinta seems like a decent replacement. https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/

WHY is it just a Ubuntu release and no RPM? I really HATE when developers go Ubuntu = Linux

I don't think that's their responsibility. Traditionally it's your distribution's job to create and provide packages. Arch Linux has one (I just installed it myself) and if we're talking rpm: Fedora has one as well, it seems [1].

So, what is upsetting you here, really?

It's packagers of RPM distros that should build RPMs. Upstream can't be expected to release packages for every distro (if any).

I'm not so sure. If you took a drink every time you read "sorry for the short answer, I'm on mobile, I will edit it when I'm back on a real computer" on HN or reddit, your liver would die faster than Windows Phone. There's still a place for devices with lots of screen space and real input devices, and not just in the IT community (unlike with command line interfaces).

I suppose I'm hoping for a point in the near future where AR/VR type glasses (or something like that) can be used with high enough fidelity and resolution to replace my desktop, physically. Coupled with virtualization and a good keyboard, I think the PC form factor could be fully obviated.

Waiting for Apple or someone to introduce "Retina VR"? The issue is, if you double the pixel density you quadruple the amount of work on the GPU. Few current graphics cards would be able to smoothly render content that high-res, yet.

I tried this for a months, but eventually moved back.

+1 Assuming you've ported all of your windows tools to linux desktop... Once you start work on a regular cadence I wager you'll find all those windows hassles are traded for bevy of new ones with linux desktop.

My current work jumps between .net and linux frequently. I've been lured by the notion of all work on a single OS. It is certainly possible. And I take a shot at it every 6 months or so. So far it still brings more hassle than practical benefit for me.

Tools make all the difference in efficiency. And if youre short on time and working on C#/SqlServer/F# then nothing currently gets the job done faster than the older/boring tech (for me that's visualstudio/vsvim/resharper on windows 7).

But I agree that SqlServer on linux + project rider may be enough to make practical cross-platform environment for my needs.

This is a great conversation and worth checking in on every few months

I believe you and your parent are talking about different categories of users. >> but it's never going to be mainstream

My mom uses Ubuntu (but, in all fairness, I installed it for her)

Which is only fair, Windows comes preinstalled also.
