You just installed a shiny new fresh install of Linux mint. What are your must install apps/tools?

    They serve two different purposes - Gimp for image editing, Inkscape for vector graphics.

      Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

        You can load bitmap images into Inkscape and manipulate them to a degree, but Gimp is much better at that. You can probably also load vector graphics (svg) into Gimp, but I’d assume they would be converted to bitmaps.

        Vector vs bitmap is a good topic to be familiar with for anyone who works with computers, I keep running into professionals who really should know the difference but don’t.

          Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.
