woah, yeah, that’s… unusual, I would expect that arrow to look more like a sideways chevron – but there it was, and apparently I can also put themes in ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/themes

Yeah, no, this is what I’ve got under Folders:

It’s a three year bachelor’s degree to become a kindergarten teacher in Norway. You can work in kindergarten without that education, but then you’ll be more of an assistant and your salary will be even lower.

You’d also have to learn Norwegian, of course, unless you can get a job at one of the very few english-language international kindergartens.

click the color preview, and you get a slightly bigger circle and you can also enter HSV and RGB values manually

it does look a little better, but I still think it’s messy

well, the first thing is that you might want to update the instructions for finding the themes folder. In Gimp I had to look under preferences-interface-theme to find the folder – and even then it was a bit of a journey, since I installed it with flatpak, so the folder ended up being in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/x86_64/stable/5c600asdghjsd0cfe6e9e5bcf71a2e8a1a7e0ca018f43aabfa38dc12bd0954034f06/files/share/gimp/3.0/themes/

…while the Gimp settings just say app/share/gimp/3.0/themes/

Nice, I’ll check it out

dude, at least screenshot the same palette

no, I’d say Blender looks a lot better. I tried to find a roughly equivalent palette for comparison:

hehe, I wish, but no, the starting salary is more like $55 000, increasing to about $65 000 as you get more experience.

at minimum it would be nice if they just looked at the spacing and organization of the different palettes. This does not look tidy… or professional, really. It looks cramped and messy.

Not my experience, at least not here in Norway – in fact, there’s been a pretty big backlash against the digitalization of childhood in schools and kindergartens, so I’d be very surprised if there’s any increasing pressure on us to use computers at all with the children. A colleague of mine put on some movies a handful of times in December, and even that caused some concerned messages from parents.

Being a kindergarten teacher is not really something that AI can help with.

They did use Mint in a previous video, and in the comment field on Youtube there’s rumors he’ll be trying Kubuntu since Pop was so buggy.

If the software you need to use isn’t very demanding, you can run windows in a virtual machine (VM) inside of Linux – the exception is games that have kernel-level anti-cheat, those will probably never work on Linux in any way, and you’ll have to dual boot to run them. Most other games will run easily if you just install them with Steam, but I’ve come across a few that I use a VM for.

What software and games do you need to run? I might be able to help.

Also, the distro you should go for is called Linux Mint.

Mint has the perfect balance of stability, support and up-to-date-ness for beginners - and honestly for a lot of experienced users as well.

Sloppy reading on my part as well. Seems like you want something between the standard windows/macos experience and i3, and that sounds like a good idea, but I’m not sure it exists

Fedora has an i3 flavor, you could try that - or just install whatever WM you want to check out on your current setup. You can usually select your WM on the login screen once it’s installed.
