dont forget how they expect you to compile it. some projects offer a nice .msi for windows, a .whatever for mac, and then linux users just get a link to their github. i mean cmon.
edit: i'm not talking specifically about gimp, my dudes.
That's false, not sure why you would say that. Literally just visit the download page
https://krita.org/en/download/
i see what you did there
The fuck are you talking about. It's available in all the repositories
not all software.
compiling a program takes like 2 clicks dude
"They" most of the times is solo devs and you can't blame them for that. GIMP does have flatpak, appimages, etc.
solo devs can spin windows executables and mac installer but not linux..?
