how i’d do it:

• open https://minecraftcirclegenerator.co/
• put firefox in second monitor
• go in gimp, select pixel brush
• draw the circle pixel by pixel

nope, and nobody knows why

woah what

it’s not even the brain that does it, it’s the color receptors getting tired because of the bright colors and when you look at something white it seems less red, and thus blue

maybe your monitor isn’t very bright, or maybe because of the yellow it lets the color receptors rest for long enough to keep working properly

plus it’s literally unused screen space

put this image on a big monitor and stare at it for 30 seconds, then look anywhere else

what

opaque is not transparent and has no blur

transparent+blur has transparency and no blur

hope i helped

yeah. actualy is there anything in gimp you can’t do in krita?

just start trying to do sonething with it and you’ll get used to it

what’s your CPU and GPU? it might help knowing that

it matters. different distros will have different versions of everything, and whatever compatibility problem you had with your CPU (or maybe GPU, since that’s more common and you seem to not remember much about it) might not exist in a different version of the kernel or something similar.

what distro(s) did you try?

the more time and effort is like, literally a couple of seconds for most pcs, unless it has a hard drive

for now i kind of have to turn my pc off all the time because the roof has a couple of leaks right on top of where my stuff is and it could rain at any time. when i move i’ll probably keep turning it off though, as i always turn it on and go and get something to eat, so boot time makes no difference, and i just personally hate it when it turns on from any key press

i agree

i mean, i used to have an old power supply that made a pretty loud high pitched noise constantly so i had to always turn the switch to go to sleep. maybe they have something similar in the motherboard

sure? i could bring the same argument back to you:

why wouldn’t you shut it down? so that you can wait a couple of seconds less?

there’s basically no difference. it only depends on what you’re used to doing and maybe if you care about the little electricity that’s being used constantly for little to no reason

oh that makes sense, thx for explaining :D

don’t “no shit” me after you say something dumb and obvious

no, i was joking about the windows part there

i’d say too long is 1 minute or more

is that a button or a futuristic flying police car
