Great, now I can stop renaming it on business PCs

Might look edgy or funny to some, but at the least isn't professional and is offensive to many.

Gimp / retard / spaz

Yes, also say something is "GIMPed" if it's broken or disabled/restricted in some way.

It's a DIY electronics marketplace, went offline for "routine maintenance" as has been offline for 4 days and counting ...

Why is the glass so fragile ? I'm sure they used to have a bottom metal frame

Also you might say something is GIMPed if it's been broken or messed up in some way. A bad name all round.

There was a serious move/fork to call it GLIMPSE a while back, but it got abandoned. https://itsfoss.com/gimp-fork-glimpse/

The name is a bigger problem than many think IMO

I personally always rename the launch icon on machines just because so many people comment on seeing GIMP on the desktop or menu.

Because a link like that is lazy and sarcastic, a bit like posting a lmgfy link

Mint forever, Ubuntu without the snaps, and It generally is fuss free.

Shout-out to antiX though, revived many a "useless" old laptop with that.

Oh, sorry we're base 22

Found that on day one, pretty sure it's even in the instructions not to put the sensor somewhere you'll put pressure on.
