首次使用Ubuntu的用户寻求类似Win8.1默认照片应用的简易图像编辑器

Hey there! I totally get where you're coming from—GIMP is powerful but way too overwhelming for quick, casual photo edits when you're used to the simplicity of Windows Photos or Snapseed. Here are some perfect Ubuntu alternatives that fit your needs exactly:

• Pix
  This is GNOME's go-to lightweight photo editor, and its workflow feels super similar to Windows Photos. It comes packed with ready-to-use presets (like vintage, black & white, and auto-enhance) plus basic tools for cropping, adjusting brightness/contrast, fixing red-eye, and more. No complicated menus—just open your photo and tweak away.
  To install, open your terminal and run:

  sudo apt install pix
  

  Or search for "Pix" in the Ubuntu Software Center for a one-click install.

• Pinta
  Often called the "Linux equivalent of Paint.NET," Pinta strikes a great balance between simplicity and functionality. It has a clean, familiar interface with a sidebar full of preset filters (blur, sharpen, artistic effects) and easy-to-use adjustment sliders. It supports layers if you ever need them, but you can ignore that entirely for quick edits.
  Install it via terminal:

  sudo apt install pinta
  

• Shotwell
  If you want a tool that handles both photo organization and quick edits, Shotwell is ideal. Its built-in editor includes one-tap auto-enhance, preset style filters, and essential tools like crop, rotate, and color correction. It's designed to be intuitive—you won't need a tutorial to start using it.
  Install command:

  sudo apt install shotwell
  

• Darktable (Slightly More Advanced, But Still Approachable)
  If you occasionally want more control over your edits without diving into GIMP, Darktable is a solid pick. It has a huge library of preset styles, non-destructive editing (so you won't ruin your original photo), and professional-level adjustments that are still easier to navigate than GIMP. It's a step up from the others but still way less intimidating.
  Install with:

  sudo apt install darktable
  

All these tools prioritize ease of use and come with the preset filters you're looking for—give them a try and pick the one that feels most like your old Windows Photos app!
