I grew up with DOS, thankfully, otherwise I'd be in the same boat. This is still something where Linux really suffers as far as being ready for Ye Olde End User - the average person should never have to open a terminal in this day and age.

I also grew up using MS-DOS v3.3 thru v6.22, but had come from a background using an Amiga 2000, so I thought DOS was pretty limited and lame, but I had to use it in my job capacity as a programmer for a DOS application.
So, even though I *can* do pretty much everything I need to do using a terminal window, I still don't *like* doing it that way. I can navigate a nested folder structure ten times faster in Thunar than I can typing the commands to get to the same location, and I type pretty fast.

Oh, neat. I didn't need MyPaint anyway. Still has the most notable issue I noticed with 2.8 though - no layer effects. If you look really, really hard (because the GIMP plugin site is gone) you can find a download for a Python script that adds them, and it works, but it's a little stuttery and feels like it's going to crash if you sneeze.

I am also running GIMP 2.8 and not using MyPaint, but so far I haven't hit any barriers with things I used it for in Windows. What do you use layer effects on? I mostly use GIMP and I_View as photo editing tools, and about as advanced as I get with that would be to make the unsightly cables disappear in a shot of the studio or similar functions.
