No one

krita

There isn't one.

There genuinely fucking isn't one that has very simple straightforward basic functionality.

I don't want to use paint to make a magically fucking work of world class art. I don't need to be able to tickle my asshole with some sort of wanktastic fucking filter or feature, I just want to crop something or resize something or draw a fucking funny face.

There is no real alternative to ms paint.

it doesnt have any antialiasing at all

Well that's fine because i'm not resizing a fucking picasso

You could ponder using Kolourpaint. Also Pinta, but Pintas loading time and the way text is inserted - among other things is kind of underwhelming.

>A comprehensive Program for Photo editing?
Photoshop, Krita if you are on Linux

>A simple, lightweight tool for fast editing of something very minor?
That one's hard. A lot of people still use mspaint.

Make one yourself

MS paint opens instantly for me.

Paint.net takes a good minute and fifteen seconds to finish loading.

By the time it's open I don't want to draw a meme anymore.

This is both of them open, sitting there on a blank fresh page of the same size.

It should also be noted that ms paint opened immediately, Paint.Net had a noticeable delay.
>>
>>53785428

When you say instantly you don't actually mean instantly as nothing in the universe happens instantly, everything takes time, even if you don't notice it.
Past the physical things the computer also needs to run the commands to open the program and to load it into memory from the hard drive.
It does not happen instantaneously.

>>53785445
Both Paint.Net and Pinta are .Net/Mono based technologies, distributed in a way it has to be compiled before running, what did you expect.
>>
>>53785459
>What did you expect

A small lightweight multi-purpose image editor? You know, like MsPaint?

If I want more professional features I'd certainly not be reaching for Paint.net so what imagined niche do you think it sits in?

>I just want to crop something or resize something or draw a fucking funny face.
Not sure about drawing a face since I've never needed that and can't tell if there are tools for that, but Irfanview is objectively the fastest program to crop and resize. The window resizes after you paste your pic so you don't have to stretch canvas first, you can just start selecting an area with a mouse without selecting a selection toom first, and cut it and press D to clear the useless borders and then just paste what you cut. Cropped image is done in 2 seconds.

Anyway, just use Kolourpaint. Even if you are using a GTK based desktop, because there is no working GTK based MS PAINT equivalent.

If you wan't something similar but enhanced then Paint.NET
If you wan't to pretend to have something as good as Photoshop then Krita or GIMP
If you wan't an actual image editor then Photoshop
>>
>>53785610
People shouldn't pretend that they need Photoshop as home users. They could just use GIMP or Krita or something.
>>
>>53786050
krita is an illustrator, not an image editor. gimp is terrible
>>
Paint.NET
Seriously

PhotoFiltre is not too simple and not too complex, it has all i "need" (layers, filters, pixel by pixel shit, selection...) but the text looks like shit
but i'd like i another image editor for drawing lines (pf plug-in?) like pic, any simple one?
>>
>>53785315
You could try GIMP.

photoshop

just pirate cs6 don't bother with the cloud shit.

It pulls in a ridiculous number of KDE dependency packages if you're not using KDEshit already.
