Oh I did not realize that! Excellent. :)

Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you're saying is this?
[Files] = [Files]
[Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]
Hey no worries friend! I'm here on that bench with ya!
The Egg Prime Directive is a good policy in most cases!
This is good news. There are a lot of great FOSS alternatives on Linux, but raster editing is one of the last few blind spots, I've found.
- Krita is designed more for painting,
- MyPaint also seems designed more for digital artwork (and, perhaps just in my experience, but it also seemed rather unstable and kept crashing)
- KolourPaint is very barebones (seems to be much more a replacement to MS Paint than anything else, so can't really blame it for that)
- Inkscape is a vector editor. 'Nuff said.
- Pinta is the closest to Paint.\NET you're gonna get on Linux, except it's based on before the latter went closed-source (bastard...) and as such it's not as feature-complete as Paint.\NET is.
GIMP, meanwhile, doesn't even have nondestructive editing and also can't draw basic shapes (like squares, cylinders, etc.), can't seemingly rotate layers without opening the [floating RMB menu] > Layer > Transform > Arbitrary Rotation dialog window, and good GOD the floating menus can go fuck themselves. How I hate the floating menus. Did I mention the floating menus suck? Not sure if I mentioned that.
Anyway, this switch to 3.0 is really needed and I'm genuinely excited to see the changes it brings, to the UI and the UX in particular.
Just a shame that they're switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.
Why does it get bigger? I've wondered that for a while now.
I would think that compressing something that's already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhh......
^ The real question.

Oof.
Lol, thanks. I especially liked adding the National Geographic symbol at the bottom. Hehe.
By caption, do you mean the alt text? Yeah, I can do that. Gimme a sec. :)
Edit: Okay, how's this? ;)
Oh I get it! It's certainly not easy. Haha. I struggle with it myself, but I've noticed that my mental health improves the more uncluttered my external life is, and my browser is a part of the latter.
"A tidy room is a tidy mind" and all that... It's not 100% accurate, but it's got a ring of truth to it, I've found, at least for me.
Exactly.
And even with the stuff it can do takes 10x longer to do than with most other raster editing software because the UI and UX is so darn convoluted. Like, seriously, I want to like GIMP, but frankly I and most people in fact ain't gonna spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how to rotate a layer. Lol.
Frankly, at this point, I just wish Paint.\NET was able to be run on Linux, but I believe it still uses some Windows-specific components—can't remember what they are—that can't quite yet be replicated properly using Mono. (Might be some Windows-specific DLLs? Idk.)
