Great, now I can stop renaming it on business PCs

Might look edgy or funny to some, but at the least isn’t professional and is offensive to many.

Gimp / retard / spaz

Yes, also say something is “GIMPed” if it’s broken or disabled/restricted in some way.

It’s a DIY electronics marketplace, went offline for “routine maintenance” as has been offline for 4 days and counting …

Somebody tell that to tindie.com !

Also you might say something is GIMPed if it’s been broken or messed up in some way. A bad name all round.

There was a serious move/fork to call it GLIMPSE a while back, but it got abandoned. https://itsfoss.com/gimp-fork-glimpse/

The name is a bigger problem than many think IMO

I personally always rename the launch icon on machines just because so many people comment on seeing GIMP on the desktop or menu.

Yeah, have a tech mate ready to step in, like a “porn buddy” https://youtube.com/shorts/kgu3PzpKhn4

Mint forever, Ubuntu without the snaps, and It generally is fuss free.

Shout-out to antiX though, revived many a “useless” old laptop with that.

Ventoy for most, but some stuff doesn’t work with correctly when booted from ventoy:

• ChromeOS Flex won’t install to internal drive when ventoy booted, it will when flashed directly to a usb.

• also had Linux Mint 22 try to install to the ventoy drive (wiping it and then crashing halfway through)

• and dealing with really old 32bit bios laptops you’ll have to use direct usb too (AntiX still supports 32bit)

“Never used Linux,” They say, typing on a chromebook or android phone, before picking up their steamdeck.
