WHY TUXPAINT?

ok this sounds very stupid to many of you, but I am sure that tuxpaint is one of the best image editing software ever and now I will tell why it is

now we should show why it is bad lol

hard to import images :-

this is honestly the only bad thing. you can't import images easily . I mean , you can just manually move the image into the folder where the drawings are saved. for example, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.tuxpaint/files/saved is the path on android. but I'm sure most people are on linux or windows. for linux it might be /~tuxpaint/files/saved/ and windows AppData\tuxpaint\files\saved . please note I haven't used a computer in a looong time so don't expect it to be accurate. find it on your own noob!!!1!1

that's all. now lets see what is good about tuxpaint

easy to use :-

by far the best feature . this was designed for 5 year old to use. so its incredibly easy for me to use, much more than any other software.

free and open source :-

had to mention it. what can I say, I used linux. but , this does mean that tuxpaint is everywhere because it is free

runs on anything :-

it is officially supported for windows 8, 10, and 11 (old version has support for beautiful windows 7) , mac os x 10.10 and later ( can run under newer macos machines), any linux (I recommend atleast kernel 5.0 with gtk or qt) with individual packages for debian linux, ubuntu linux, fedora linux, and slackware linux . tuxpaint is availible in the AUR for arch linux. FreeBSD is supported (recommend release 12 with gtk or qt), OpenBSD (version, whatevers the latest. Its a security os) , NetBSD (recommend version 9) and even haiku (recommend r1/beta4 atleast because before that the os is EXtREMElY buggy but for best experience use latest version.) through their own package managers (pkg, pkg_add, pkgsrc, and pkgman). the system requirements are literally 90s pc level. 40 mb of ram on linux and windows, SOMEHOW 16 mb on mac. and maximum it needs 233 mb storage, 200 mhz pentium x86 or powerpc g3 233 mhz or equivelant . for those who don't understand linux english it means it can run on any computer from the year 2000 and beyond

so . many. effects. :-

there are, SO MANY EFFECTS. like the magic section , is just too much. you can like,do whatever with effects. suddendly drawing becomes so much easier with effects

can be very versatile :-

in my playstation 3 article, I said that playstation 3 can be a computer (although underestimating how hard it would be lol) so like. tuxpaint can be used for video editing and image editing I already told how you can import images above, but you can also export images. you can also make a slideshow from your drawings and export it as an animation?. if that dosent work , you can open up the folder where the saved images are and manually export them by moving it into another folder. but this makes animation significantly harder because now you have to turn pictures (individual frames) into an animation.

so now you know lol . its shorter because its just a software , not a games console . ok bye
