Paint3D is an atrocious, poorly-designed app. Tools are all over the place, familiar shortcuts have disappeared, and the UI looks like it was designed for the Windows 8 vision of Windows-on-a-tablet. No thanks. WIN+R, mspaint, ENTER--every time.
- arminiusreturns 7y agoUse rufus to burn a linux iso and install over the top. No more windows. Really need something? Run it in wine. Break away from Microsofts abusive ecosystem.
- MeltySmelty 7y agono thanks. not worth the headache.
- gambiting 7y agoVisual Studio doesn't run in Wine as far as I know.
- ta999999171 7y agoVSCode is cross platform, what does Visual Studio do that it can't?
- deadcat 7y agoIf you are writing .net core sure. Otherwise you are going to hit issues building and debugging. Why you would be attempting that outside of a Windows VM, I'm not sure.
- recursive 7y agoJust because I have no reason to run a VM. VS runs fine outside a VM.
- gambiting 7y agoWe build games for PS4 and Xbox One, as far as I know neither SDK has integrations for VS Code. Can you do assembly view and memory editing in VS Code by the way? I honestly don't know.
- nullvoxpopuli 7y agoVS Code isn't an IDE, as much as people want it to be
- ta999999171 7y ago> what does Visual Studio do that it can't? This wasn't argumentative, this was a genuine question - could you shed some light?
- wayneftw 7y agoYes it is. IDE = integrated development environment. It has integrated git. It has integrated debuggers. It has integrated database tools. It has integration on tap, with extensions.
- m-p-3 7y agoIf you're a gamer who relies on multiplayer, some anticheats (ie: EAC) makes this an impossibility.
- colejohnson66 7y agoI use Linux as my main box, and Wine doesn’t really cut it. I don’t like having to mess with winetricks to get programs to work, and even then, some (like Visual Studio) still don’t work. If I could just run an exe and Wine would detect what winetricks I need and install them then, that’d be great. (No, I can’t just install them all as I like to use different prefixes for each program)
- leeoniya 7y ago> WIN+R, mspaint, ENTER--every time. i prefer https://www.getpaint.net/ https://www.getpaint.net/
- smacktoward 7y agoI would prefer https://www.getpaint.net https://www.getpaint.net, if that web site weren't littered with misleading ad units designed to trick people who want to download the Paint.NET software into actually downloading adware. As it stands, I can't in good conscience tell people to go to that site. Even if the actual Paint.NET software is good, the risk is just too high they'll end up installing something nasty.
- Dylan16807 7y agoSend them to Ninite?
- leeoniya 7y agoyeah, it's unfortunate, but they need to make money somehow. at least they're not bundling anything with the install (AFAIK) https://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html https://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html
- m-p-3 7y agoOr you can buy it on the MS Store to contribute.
- leeoniya 7y agoor donate directly
- acollins1331 7y agoI don't think the answer of "I need to make money somehow" and then maliciously taking it from others makes it okay. That's like saying it's ok I mug someone because I need some money. Intrusive and tracking ads are bad, even if the person hosting them "needs money".
- falcor84 7y agoWIN+R, pbrush, ENTER => save yourself one keystroke :)
- m-p-3 7y agoPaint.NET is a worthy replacement to MSPaint, and I'm glad it exists. It IMO manage to balance simplicity and features that is quite accessible to an average user.
