Kind of funny because I was using an old laptop earlier to recover a partition that Mac fucked up.

Instead of clicking GParted, I accidentally clicked GIMP. For a Core2Duo computer with 4GB RAM, 2 seconds wasn't an exaggeration.

Distro was Manjaro.

Anyway to make it open faster on Mac?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, make you GIMP open fast on Mac only for 999.99$/mo

I read forever ago that deleting plugins and brushes you don't use helps slightly. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Is the font system at it again?

Just measured startup time on Windows. 37 seconds from click to splash screen, 40 seconds from splash screen to UI

"That's the power of Fatdog64!"

Actually it seems like even on an SSD GIMP takes a few seconds to load nowadays on Windows and yet Fatdog64 loads it within a second or two. Anyone else tried Fatdog64 or any Puppy Linux OS?

Hold up, Fatdog64 is an actual thing??

In my case Alacritty on Windows 10 takes like 30 seconds to open + 15 seconds waiting for Powershell, on Linux Mint Alacritty + Fish shell takes only 1-2 seconds to open

On Windows for me it takes a solid 5 seconds, on Linux it's barely a second.
