    because i like mspaint?
    I’ve been using it for the last ~5 years for (really shitty) pixel art and i can’t find anything similar enough for linux. it never worked under wine for me.

      How do you even get an installer for mspaint?? Like, I’m honestly baffled and intrigued at this point that mspaint is the “killer app” keeping someone on Windows and how one would even try to install it under wine…

      I did a bit of hunting online and most people report no problems with the windows xp version of paint under wine, but 7 and later requires some tinkering because of missing .dll files or won’t work at all.

      No, it’s because MS Paint is such a basic application, that it not working under Wine sounds like fantasy. I can believe that about Windows 10/11 Paint. But Win32 versions??
