The biggest gap that I've struggled with in Linux is a basic image editing program. I either have very high-performance image editors such as GIMP or Krita, or I have doodoo like KolourPaint
I'm not saying that highly powerful photo editors a la GIMP or Photoshop shouldn't exist, but sometimes you want to just throw some text on top of a meme or something, and you don't want to have to fiddle with layers, brush stroke, style, opacity, etc. and these powerful editors require a lot more configuration for simple tasks that simple editors just don't.
Gimp is the worst of both worlds. 1990s image processing tech under the hood (hope you like your 16-bit channels silently crushed down to 8-bits!), with a complex and crusty old interface on top.
Krita is the real deal though. Still a complex interface but it's very modern under the hood.

At this point I can’t live without snagit

But that's the thing, I don't need an alternate to photoshop, I need an alternate to MS Paint that is just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit better.
I still can't believe someone hasn't come up with a Paint.net for Linux.
100%, also the paint.net devs act like pricks on their forums toward people that suggest that it would be cool if they went multi platform
i dont understand. there is nothing ms paint can do that photoshop can't, so there's no reason to want both.

TheBroodian basically wants a Linux version of Paint.net.
Paint 3D :troll:
Have you tried Pinta
Yes, and it's mostly what I'm looking for, but it's hella buggy and crashes if you breathe on it wrong
