GIMP

Yeah back when GIMP was first released in 1995, it was called "The GIMP." Anyways this is a free photo manipulation software. It's similar to Photoshop, but it was made with Linux in mind. You can of course get it on Windows too, so it's not just a Linux based software. Have you ever used this alternative photo app?

I've tried it, but I don't like the name. Is that a joke? It reminds me of the math notation called LATEX, lol.

I have used it but bu the time I came to know abou GIMP I was already using photoshop so I never went to GIMP. I did not like the floating screen

🤣I don't think it is but that's hilarious! It stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Which is why it used to have the word "The" in front of it.

I believe it's some joke or cruel joke.
