I know Paint.NET, WinSCP and HexChat does this (Microsoft Store).
Is there something like that on Linux that's gtk based but not as complicated as Gimp?
Pinta seems similar, but more Xfce-ish.

The acronym was coined first, with the letter G being added to -IMP as a reference to "the gimp" in the scene from the 1994 Pulp Fiction film.[8] - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP#History
The movie in question doesn't even make the pejorative version of the word clear. The best you could come out of it is some weird fetish thing.

> Free as in mattress, and free as in piano I don't get it, could you explain?
the mattress could be infected with bedbugs. and a piano that's been unmaintained for enough decades isn't an instrument any more, and never will be. and disposing of them is expensive. they have negative value, despite not costing any money.
See also the "everything must be paid for twice" article (submitted a while back on HN).

You are talking about the quality of the software, and I don't think that is correlated to either the versions of free described above. I have paid for software that has been buginfested and that has been completely unfit for its purpose.
Is any of what you said related to free/libre software?
I got into Krita a year or two ago and I've been thoroughly impressed. Kudos to the development team. I'm particularly happy with its wacom support; the radial menu is something I miss profoundly in Affinity. (I also love Affinity but for different reasons; and yes, there's a system-wide wacom radial menu under Windows, but it's not as good as Krita's.)

Yeah... The thing is, the current UI isn't really good for small screens, so when we teamed up with Google to bring Krita to Android and ChromeOS, we only targeted large-screen devices. We are trying to add a UX suitable for small-screen devices, but... Google changes Android so often and so weirdly that the guy working on Krita on Android pretty much spends all his time chasing those changes instead of designing a s…
Oh shit I just bought my kid a Moto G Stylus and Krita was part of our game-plan. Is there a bounty I can donate to for this?

It's a powerful and versatile painting program, developed by a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make it an excellent tool for digital artists. The software offers a wide range of features, including an intuitive user interface, advanced brush engines, and robust layering capabilities. These strengths are what truly set Krita apart and should be the primary focus when promot…
Clip is yearly on Android/iOS, one-time on Win/MacOS.
I love that they are also selling the software in stores (MS, Steam, Epic). You don't get anything extra apart from the automatic updates but it's certainly a nice way to get people to pay for your FOSS project. Back in 2019 they mentioned that "Krita has gone from 2 to 4 full-time developers over the last 10 months, and Steam has been instrumental in raising the funds to make that possible" https://old.reddit.com/r/…
Here is an old (2016) breakdown of their income sources: https://krita.org/en/item/funding-kritas-development/ I follow their updates semi-regularly so I'm not sure if they made a more recent one that was as detailed. I found a tad depressing to see how much Steam purchases are making compared to donations. They also had an interesting post about the fact that on the Windows store they cannot mention that you can dow…
Why's this depressing? They 'charge' a reasonable price on Steam for those who want to either support the project or get automatic updates or both, and the developers for this open source project get funded without having to actually paywall the product. Seems pretty good all around to me!

Paint.net stopped releasing source code in 2009.
Spoiler warning, all .NET programs can be decompiled. This includes many Unity games.
