#2paint.net is one of the only pieces of software that I miss from Windows. After having started with Tux Paint, I found paint.net extremely intuitive and easy to use (very nice for making goofy memes in middle/high school, and quick/easy drawings). I think that even after not having used it for years I am still more productive in it than I am in, say, Photoshop or GIMP.

There is a clone, Pinta.

I have found Pinta (pinta-project.com) is a great replacement that works on Linux. I don't use it very often anymore but last time I did it was basically a drop-in replacement.
No affiliation, just something I have used.

Slightly related, if someone wants Photoshop like features, I would recommend Photopea. It's basically photoshop but all processing is done in browser and doesn't need to be installed.

#6I use a Mac now, but have a Windows VM running in Parallels. Paint.net is one of the first apps I installed on that VM. It's ridiculously easy and intuitive.
Re: Paint.net
#7I do not use this for two reasons:
- It is not open source.
- It does only run on Windows.
Alternatives include Krita, Pinta and The GIMP.

Photopea is one of the few services I have zero hesitation paying a premium to remove ads.
Absolute mastercraft of a software.

Check out Krita[0]. It's what I used after leaving Windows - a little different, maybe 25% more complicated, but has everything you need.
If you just want a MS Paint replacement, KolourPaint[1] is the way to go

Tux Paint? I remember my 5 year old using this.
