Having trouble loading My paint brushes on Linux/Chromebook OS
#2
Caveat: I do not have a modern chromebook with the embedded linux OS.
Can you give a bit more information. Do you know which linux distribution is installed? Did you do something like this for Ubuntu https://itsfoss.com/install-linux-chromebook/ or was linux already there ? (Gimp 2.10.14 so might be debian linux) 

How did you install Gimp ? Is it a flatpak? as https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2020/02...ebook.html or a regular Gimp install using something like apt-get install gimp  It matters because a regular installation is easier to handle than a flatpak.

How to find folder (directory) locations, say for brushes:: Start up Gimp, Use the menu Edit -> Preferences then down to Folders expand that to show the list. Go to brushes and look at the folder locations. There should be two. The one marked writable (1) is where to put your new brushes. It might be possible to create an additional more convenient folder as (2) This is my installation, take no notice of the actual paths, it is just for reference.

   

Can you post a screenshot like that ? it gives information about the type of Gimp (flatpak / standard / something-else) installed.

Quote:BTW where do I find GIMP plugins?

Much the same as brushes, there are scripts something.scm which go in the scripts folder and plugins compiledfile or something.py which go in the plugins folder. Where to find. All over the place but you could start here: https://www.gimpscripts.net/  Get to know how Gimp works first.
