This should be helpful for people that learned Photoshop in the past (for work or in school). From what I understand, a lot of the friction with GIMP is the workflow differences, and potentially unintuitive UI/UX choices.

tldr: recovering Adobe Photoshop user shows you features in the very free and very open source gnu image manipulation program :D

      there used to be more, but now news is the main thing.

      in olden times (of 2021), distro reviews/why linux is better/software showcase were the main things.

      there were folks like luke smith (not going to his political shit) would do demos for things like groff/troff (imagine a latex alternative, now it is pretty much only used for man pages). but you get the idea - they would demo software, use it, compare it.

      there is tle, who did lots of lists (like x amount of tools from elementary os which are great), linux cast would do file manager reviews, brodie would cover commandline stuff.

      now pretty much all 3 of them do news. I still watch brodie because his news at times is niche and kinda fun, but i really do not want to hear lkml drama (which is non existent).

      one of the youtubers which got me into linux was mental outlaw. he made tonnes of privacy/security/anonymity related videos back then, and occasional covered hacking news. i started trying to make windows more private (it truly started from try to make wwindows leaner), and then he, and tle got me into linux.

      now i do not watch almost any of them. (except brodie, and occasional tle and tlc)

      why all went to news - it is easier to make.
