You keep ignoring everyone who says that but I will still repeat it: it’s not Google that installs third-party (!) apps on your phone.

It is really common in the other hand for OEMs (Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, …) to install additional apps to earn money through “partnerships”.

Yeah, I wish for a “Blender” moment for GIMP. Big improvements to the UI/UX to bring more (non-tech) users and code modernization to bring in devs.

While Krita focusses on drawing, I found it basically just as good at photo editing as GIMP. So today I don’t use GIMP at all and do everything in Krita.
