Artists: Drop OS X, Give Linux a Try
,----[ Quote ]
| Enter GIMPShop, a variation of GIMP designed with a menu layout nearly
| identical to Photoshop. Thanks to this variation, Ubuntu users could
| uninstall GIMP proper and then install the Deb file provided at the previous
| link. This will provide artists a very close clone to the more familiar
| Photoshop. Perhaps the best part of this is that GIMPShop is completely free,
| unlike its closed source cousin.
