Does this mean they caved in to the UK’s client-side scanning stuff after all?

I’m not directly answering your question here, but I just want to say that https://slrpnk.net/c/linux@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy is exactly this and there are people using all sorts of distributions. I’ve found everyone there extremely helpful.

Permissions: check out the Concessio app (available from Flathub). Permissions are confusing for new Linux users and the app explains how they work and can generate them in numeric and symbolic formats for command line use.

I’ve used Photoshop professionally for 20 years and GIMP for about 3 and, to be fair, both of their default interfaces have have their pros and cons. After spending the 2/3 hours it takes to become proficient in one after being used to the other, the comparison mostly comes down to other things e.g availability of tools, raw performance, enshittification etc.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some things that annoy me about GIMP (like any software), but I’ll be recommending versions 3.0 onwards over Photoshop every time. Adjusting to the interface is easily worth it.
