Any Tutorial Guides/Videos for a Noob?

@j0rge I tried Pinta from your video and I loved this super simple to use image editor. This app should be included in Blufin itself as default flatpak app!

I see Windows have default image editor (Paint), but on Linux distros there is no default image editor installed. Which is odd.

Some may say Pinta is too basic, but those people can find advanced apps like Krita or Gimp and use them. Just like Text editor is encluded and advanced users may install Vim or Emac or something.

That is why I think as simple to use text editor is installed by default, Pinta would be nice to be installed as default preinstalled flatpack as a simple to use image editor.

I believe a first boot setup app is in the works. Probably won’t see that until new ISO installer is ready.

@red11 agreed this is a good find - most of the time all that is need is some basic cropping, annotation or conversion.

I typically use ffmpeg for those things but find that I have to read the man page almost every time.

We just got a ton of space back with the new ISOs but I agree that this app is just awesome and worth it.

Has anyone tried it on a 2 in 1 or tablet? Feels like my kid would love it!

I installed Pinta on bluefin 41 on my Yoga 920. The interface does seem usable using touch, but to be honest, I barely know what I am doing in a graphics app like this.

I was able to draw some boxes, pick colors, etc. But I suspect if someone is looking to do any fine grained operations (like pixel level adjustments) a stylus would be needed.

FYI - for what it is worth.
