Mandala Created in GIMP 3.0


Hi everyone,
I created this #mandala in #GIMP. If you are not familiar with it, GIMP is an open-source raster graphic program, alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Its version 3.0 came out at the end of last year. And with a bit of practice, it allows to create stunning artwork, such as mandalas.


Linux Setup


I set up Linux as an operating system on my computer yesterday, in an attempt to move away from American big tech corporations.

At first, setting it up feels a big technical, and might be a bit daunting for non-technical folks. but once installed, I found using it rather smooth and natural.

Not all programs are available for Linux OS, so it might not be a solution for everyone. Also, there is the possibility to install it as a dual OS, to have the choice between Linux and Windows at start up.

Below, Linux's logo. Not a lemur, but penguins are cute too.

Linux Mint est un très bon choix. Elle est basée sur Ubuntu, c'est du solide : cette instance de Friendica roule d'ailleurs sur Ubuntu. Je suis sur Windows pour le boulot, Mac pour la musique, et Fedora/Gnome pour le reste. J'ai installé openSUSE en 2004, puis j'ai appris tranquillement à me sentir à l'aise. Aujourd'hui, la bête est beaucoup plus facile à apprivoiser. En tout cas, j'espère que tu apprécieras !

Merci pour l'encouragement. Ma première motivation qui m'a poussé à faire le changement, cétait de ne plus utiliser des produits et outils créés par des compagnies américaines de technologie. Mais pour le moment, ca va, ca me plait. Je pense qu'il a beaucoup de potentiel pour le dévelopement des technologies open-source.

Hi,
My name is Enea, 35, from France.
I don't know much about lemurs, but I like the idea of the lost continent of Lemuria.

I just joined the lemur space today, and I am getting to know the Fediverse. I also joined a Peertube instance a few days ago. I am looking to move away from centralized social media.
