I recently switched over from Windows to Linux and found it very difficult because I couldn’t find alternatives for softwares which I use the most. But now I have found alternatives for almost all softwares and I will be posting about them in a series of posts.

First of all, when I post How to guides, Images are very needful. I use MS pain to edit my screen shots, but in Linux I had GIMP, but it was too much for this simple requirement, so I searched for other alternatives for MS paint and found GNU Paint (gpaint).
GNU Paint is a easy to use MS Paint alternative for Linux. It does exactly what it is meant to do. It is easy to use and efficient to work with.
