Anyone here is using gimp on window 10 ?
So far all the gimp 2.10.x serie on my window 10 system have had that small but very noticable lag/floaty/delay/slow/whateveritisthatfeelsjustwrong that simply made me uninstall it every time and go back to very fast and good performing 2.8.22 in which everything was reacting immediately to my commands.
Still very annoying to me as i really wanted to use the new 2.10.x features (symmetry tool, mypaint brushes etc), but it was frustrating to work in such bad performance condition.
After so many time i was just wondering if Gimp 2.10.x was just a lost cause on window 10 (as from the few i gathered those problems aren't affecting 2.10.x on linux OS) and i would just have to stick with good old 2.8.22, not too sad though as i had no such problem with Krita or Firealpaca on my system that were both very fast and performing.
So without much hope i downloaded and installed 2.10.10 for a last test before turning the "modern" gimp page definitively, noticed that still can't have it installed alongside 2.8.22 as it still insist in installing itself in the same directory without me being able to change it this time in the customise install option (2.8.x allowed you), but whatever i would just have again to reinstall everything as i'm used to this annoyance and still have always my 2.8x plugins backups.
And wow, wow wow, the improvement is noticable on my system
It was really a surprise to me, so much that i don't think i can notice a difference now when painting between this 2.10.10 and good old trustable 2.8.22
I have yet to test every gimp functions to see if this very noticable speed improvement is to more than just for the brushes, but i have such a big smile on my face to be able to use symmetry and mypaint in gimp
Sure my old 2.8.22 32bits plugins will never work with this version of gimp, but at tha point i'm not yet caring as the surprise of seeing good performance took over
I don't know who is responsible of this "magic improvement" on performance on my window 10 setup, but huge huge thank you !
