Editing Paint.NET (section)

===paint-mono===
Paint.NET was created for Windows, and has no native support for any other system. With its previous open-source nature, the possibility for alternate versions was available. In May 2007, [[Miguel de Icaza]] officially started a [[porting]] project called ''paint-mono''.<ref name="paint-mono" /> This project had partially ported Paint.NET 3.0 to [[Mono (software)|Mono]], an open-source implementation of the [[Common Language Infrastructure]] on which the .NET Framework is based. This allowed Paint.NET to be run on Mono-supported platforms, such as [[Linux]]. <!-- As of December 2010, -->This port is no longer maintained and has not been updated since March 2009.<ref name="paint-mono">Project [http://code.google.com/p/paint-mono/ Paint Mono] at [[Google Code]]<!-- Archive https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://code.google.com/p/paint-mono/ --></ref>

Newer Mono runtime 6 versions are able to run original Paint.NET releases up to 3.5.11 almost perfectly.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19822|title= Paint.NET|publisher=WineHQ AppDB |access-date=July 22, 2021}}</ref>
