Screw you Microsoft, I switched to Paint.net forever ago and I’ll be long dead in the cold, cold grave before I recognize Missourah, I mean switch back to Paint.
For those unfamiliar, it’s a free art program that’s… idk 80% of what photoshop is? But you can install community-made plugins to add features (shoutout to Grim Color Reaper).
Also on their download page, you want this one:
If you do the microsoft link, you’ll have to pay microsoft. For a free product. That microsoft doesn’t own. Dafuq.
The paid version from the microsoft store helps to support the product; however I suspect the devs will get more bang-per-buck if you DL the free version and make a direct donation at https://getpaint.net/donate.html
The developer of paint.net sells it on the Microsoft store to support the product. Not any different than buying an app through the App Store or Google play store.
It’s created by a Microsoft Engineer, not super surprising they leverage Microsoft tools to get paid.
I think is a bot it keeps saying that everytime somebody says “paint.net”. If not a bot is a weird guy for sure because in context of some of the other messages it doesn’t make sense to say that.
I browse from Lemmy’s web interface, and anytime someone says paint.net it gets auto-hyperlinked. Anyone reading this thread unfamiliar with that behavior or that program, will likely be confused when that url does not go to the place we’re all talking about. I also didn’t reply to every instance someone wrote it, mostly the top comments only. The downvotes are pretty trashy of you all, you’re downvoting helpfulness and kindness.

Some other random company got the url “paint.net”, so confusingly you need https://getpaint.net/ to download the product paint.net

TIL. Thanks for the info - I’ll update my post.
You can also use winget to install it, if you’re into package managers
That way you can still get semi-automatic updates

The single most historically aware yet still funny to the unaware joke that the Simpsons ever put out.

True, I was just saying the name.

You’re a bot and you don’t make sense. Got it, weird guy?
By the way, that url is actually getpaint.net
