Hi,
Is it possible to install 2.8 on Chrome Linux Laptop? I installed the latest version but because of school lessons for my son, they want the 2.8 version installed and not latest version.
Thanks

This is a chromebook with embedded linux - is that correct.
Just seen a couple of videos on installing Gimp in a chromebook. Both showed the installed linux as Debian and the version of Gimp you get is fixed by the Debian release.
Video from 2019 showed Debian 9 - you get Gimp 2.8
Video from 2020 showed Debian 10 - you get Gimp 2.10
I do not think there will be any easy way to get back to Gimp 2.8 in Debian 10
At a basic level, you can set up Gimp 2.10 to look like Gimp 2.8 Thin the toolbox down, move docks around. Some tools do act in slightly different ways but nothing that can not be resolved.

Hi rich2005 and thanks for your help.
It seems that is not working for me, when I click on AppRun it is opening a notepad page with text.
