Just responding to your first line, I don't mind paying for something if it works well and supports linux in general.


Have you tried it? And is it something that is better than The GIMP?

Actual price is $38 Christmas Sale $29

As Pixel is still in a development state and the final version is still not available, you can save some money by purchasing the current version of Pixel and support its development process. There are other ways you can help, for example, by sending bug reports. You can get a free copy of Pixel if you translate it to your native language.

Pixel’s price is now $38, the final release in 2025 will cost more ($89). If you purchase now, you can save $51 and all updates until the next major release (not including) are available for free.

Benefits of purchasing

* If you purchase now, your license includes all updates until v2.0 (you save $51)
* License is multiplatform, you can use it on more platforms at once
* By purchasing you will get localized version of this product
* By purchasing you get personal support



Not a bad price if you have a use for it ...... I don't ......... but if you want to try it, better get it now Wink

Do they have a limited trial or anything, would definitely have to prove itself superior to GIMP to get a dime from me.
