I would prefer https://www.getpaint.net, if that web site weren't littered with misleading ad units designed to trick people who want to download the Paint.NET software into actually downloading adware.

As it stands, I can't in good conscience tell people to go to that site. Even if the actual Paint.NET software is good, the risk is just too high they'll end up installing something nasty.

Send them to Ninite?

yeah, it's unfortunate, but they need to make money somehow. at least they're not bundling anything with the install (AFAIK)

Or you can buy it on the MS Store to contribute.

or donate directly

“Ctrl+Alt+P” does it for me. Right click a paint shortcut > Properties > Shortcut > type “P” :)
