Pinta als Linux-Alternative zu Paint
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Pinta is a good replacement for Paint if you want more control and basic layer support without diving into complex editors like GIMP. It offers a clean interface, reliable drawing tools, and supports common formats like PNG and JPEG. Users who stick to simple edits but occasionally need layers or effects will appreciate the extra power. It’s ideal for casual users, hobbyists, or students who outgrew Paint but don’t need professional tools. Runs well on most Linux systems and feels familiar if you’ve used Paint.NET.
