      I've used it previously, and even have it installed on one of my Windows boxes right now. It's not bad, and very comparable to Photoshop. I could get used to it probably, I just never committed to it for any length of time to give it chance. One thing that it doesn't do well is photo storage/organization/viewing. For example, with Aperture, I can tag photos by person, location, events, etc. Bringing this back to Nextcloud, does Nextcloud offer this sort of photo organization/sorting/viewing?

        @fuznutz04 The easiest way to get Netcloud setup is to setup their appliance VM. Go to https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server and select "Appliances" tab. You'll see a link to www.techandme.se who is their official Nextcloud appliance provider. Tech And Me has 2 versions of Nextcloud. One on a 20GB drive and another on a 500GB drive. Either choice you can expand the space allocated.

          Great to know. I'll check that out to see if I like the functionality and then go from there. Thanks.

            Gimp has gotten better over the years, yeah. Still not perfect, but OK. For drawing, there is Krita, a must-try. And Darktable is a great RAW editor.

              Haha, I was in the middle of posting NO to GIMP as you were posting. 🙂 That's too complex for our needs. This needs to be wife friendly as well.

              I don't find GIMP to be that bad.

              It's quite powerful, which is where the problem for most people comes in. I imagine @fuznutz04 would like it after getting acquainted with the interface.

              I'm not up to speed on GIMP, but my very non-technical neighbor can rock it.

                It's a design tool so us tech types don't tend to grok it, but graphics people do. It's a very good tool.

                  And the price point is always in my budget.

                    Exactly.

                        No, not yet. I was going to focus on getting Nextcloud up and running first.

                          If I have time this weekend, I'll try to write up a guide. Any particular Distro you prefer?

                            @fuznutz04 said CentOS7 or Ubuntu,
                            I vote Ubuntu

                            Thanks!

                              Awesome! Either one works for me. Whatever one is preferred for this install.
