In the evenings I like to pull out my old Acer C720 chromebook - no chrome here, it runs on a 32bit Xubuntu.

I am not into computer games but I do run a 1992 DOS Scrabble, playing against the computer and I did try to get a GIMP for you to see but had to use a 'wild-card'. This uses the official scrabble dictionary of the time. No modern words permitted.

   

A couple of days ago, even older, I found a 3.5" floppy with a DOS Tetris from 1988. I will have played this on my Amstrad DOS 3.3 with two 720MB floppy drives but no colour, a greenscreen monitor.  A nice touch, not a screensaver, a job-saver, in case the boss is snooping. Hit the pause key and you get a fake spreadsheet, looks a bit SuperCalc-ish but a giveaway is the date '1 April'

   

Color to Alpha on this older Gimp had always had multiple options; foreground, background, black, white, and a thing to click to choose a specific color. Nothing has been updated or otherwise changed on my computer, and I haven't done anything to Gimp either, but suddenly, Color to Alpha ONLY gives me the thing to click to choose a specific color, the other options have just VANISHED! I use these options a lot in my art, and they appear to not exist in the current Gimp… the controls are so complex that I can't be sure, lol… so I really need my previous options back! Can anyone tell me how to do that… and/or, how my options vanished in the first place? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to improve the laggy performance, in particular lag related to my Wacom pen. I read previous threads about "hardware acceleration" in "playground" but was not able to find in system resources. Not sure what the best solve here is.

Thank you so much for any help or suggestions.

       
       

Which is best? I disagree with the bike's owner... (widen your browser for a 2x2 display).

I'm trying to save my project in psd file type, but when I load it in a psd reader, it gets squeezed and duplicated and I cannot find a way to fix it.
I also tried to save it as a pdf but it still gets distorted in a different way.
I'm using Pop_Os!

I'm trying to learn python scripting. I'm working in the Python-fu console

How do I terminate a loop?

example:
#############################
list = gimp.image_list()

for x in list:
      pdb.gimp_image_delete(x)
list
#############################

No matter what I try, the console tries to include the next line in the loop

Yeah I now need a VPN
Long story short, for 2/3 months now I'm with Starlink (yes SpaceX) for internet.

I'm searching a VPN which does setting on a router using L2TP... yes it's old, I don't care > but I don't want to buy a new router (the one connected to the starlink router is a Huawei Optus B818-263 (which does VPN but only PPTP and L2TP) and I want all people coming home be on VPN on THAT router as I cannot control and do not want to control what they are doing... especially the friends of my kids and they come home in big group...
Thus for sure I did received 5 alerts from Starlink about downloading movies via torrent (which were solved automatically, maybe because I live in a third world country) but I don't want to receive this kind of things anymore, and let's face it > my internet connection is like night and day compared to the last 15 years with those 2 local ISP (Globe and PLDT), thus I don't want to be cut off.

NordVPN does not do L2TP from many years, ExpressVPN just stop this few months ago...

Any suggestion?

   
right side of GIMP's page (see screenshot).  I don't know HOW it came up but I don't like working with that there.  What did I do wrong?  btw - I LOVE using GIMP!
