What is Paint.net alternative in Linux for a non-designer?

One software that I really miss from Windows world is [Paint.net](https://www.getpaint.net/index.html). I am not sure if its a vector or raster editor (that is the only two terms I am aware of). I have edited, cropped and even made a logo which I used in the demo app and later a designer made a pro version of that in the correct resolution & pixel.

I was suggested [Sketch](https://www.sketch.com/), but I need something that will run in all 3 OS & open source. I need something offline.

In the Linux world I am aware of couple of softwares but not sure which is right:

* [Krita](https://krita.org/en/)
* [Gimp](https://www.gimp.org/)
* [Pinta](https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/) (is it [discontinued](https://alternativeto.net/software/pinta/about/) as the last update was in [2015](https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/releases/1-6)?)
* [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/)
* [Fontforge](https://fontforge.github.io/en-US/)

I want to learn the basics of graphic design that will be applicable to me as a developer.

Looking for “are you older than Unix” site

I am looking for a specific website I ran across a few years ago, and am hoping someone might be able to help me. I once encountered a web site which had a noscript similar to, “are you older than Unix.” It asked for your birth year, and then gave a list of Unix sub-commands which were invented before your birth year. Unfortunately, multiple computer changes have caused me to lose the link, and google searches using multiple versions of “Unix age vs. user age” and similar text has turned up nothing. If anyone can identify the website I refer to, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

In an age when browsers easily shave off a couple GBs of your RAM in normal usage, does it really matter what distro we use?

Let's say I'm the dude who has at least 10-15 sites open in different tabs of firefox (which I presume is a very normal thing), and also lightness/performance is my criteria for choosing a DE (since I do everything from CLI, looks don't matter to me). So, for someone like me, does it really matter whether I use MATE or XFCE or even GNOME?

When I used to test distros, I had a habit of running `free -m` command constantly to check how much memory the system "eats" when running a particular app. But now, it seems a futile exercise when your browser consumes so much memory that those few mega-bytes saved here and there don't really matter.

At rest or idle mode, there is hardly a difference of 200-300 MBs between what XFCE and GNOME takes, so why this emphasis on "lightness" of distros?
