Which distro(s) of Linux have you been using that you find it to be stagnating? My experience has been the complete opposite.

  I can't really understand the obsession with distros, they all still use pretty much the same packages and few different desktop environments. Most likely if some piece of hardware won't work on one distro it won't work on others. If a nice tool/app exists on one distro you can find it for others. And Gimp is still sh*t on all of them. There is barely any new software and there hasn't been for the last decade or so. Apart from programming tools and command-line stuff. But desktop computing seems to be stuck in the 2000s in general.

    Try Krita instead of Gimp

      I think Krita is primarily a painting program, not a photo manipulation tool.

    Sorry I didn't mean to imply an obsession. I'm a relatively high-level Linux user so I was just wondering what you were referring too. Your comment cleared that up though - thanks. My surface level impression of Ubuntu's innovation since I started using it around 2005 is that its interface usability and driver support has improved consistently - but I can totally see what you mean about the lack of improvements in the applications themselves. I do hear that gaming on Linux has improved quite a bit but I'm admittedly not much of a gamer these days so I can't comment.
