I tried the Flatpak development release of GIMP 3 and there are already big problems with UI consistency.

For example the forced theming makes it unusable on KDE, this issue describes the too big UI very well and in general it seems like it doesnt make sense to have these huge UI elements on a compact App like GIMP.

Meanwhile apps like Inkscape are on GTK4 afaik, and GTK stands for GIMP ToolKit (or GNU ToolKit?). So its kinda ironic they are upgrading to GTK3 just now.

It seems they are also just doing some cleanup in the code, so I wonder how big the step to GTK4 would be?

And it problems like too large UI elements or theming problems could be fixed.

Ok I admit I never thought about using ublock on thunderbird but it sounds interesting, could you explain what advantages it and those filters give? As far as I know TB already blocks some elements within emails for security and privacy purposes

Yes Adblocking is often not needed and may slow down your TB. But people putting filenames with *.mov and *.zip in them would mean you click them and actually open URLs, as these are now registered TLDs. A very stupid idea of Google

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
