Sounds like excuses to me.

My condolences.

Gimp sucks. That’s why people on Linux rather use krita to edit photos and it wasn’t even built to do that.

Gimp is a horrible mistake that should literally be killed off and it should be put into a failure museum to serve as a warning and a reminder how Foss can take a wrong turn and many free development hours are spent towards building the wrong things and continue to disappoint any user that tries it.
