FWIW attached my colllection: These are all .gbr Un-zip put the ones you want in your Gimp profile brushes folder.
Quote:Can I view the brushes before deciding to install?
You can open a gimp .gbr brush file the same as any other graphics file File -> Open. It will of course usually be on the small side. If you get a PhotoShop .abr brush then that is a different matter although I can fix you up with a plug-in for opening if required.
Quote:For installing brushes in kubuntu. Is the right folder: /home/gimp-2.8/brushes
Certainly is. Remember it is the 'hidden' folder /home/.gimp-2.8/brushes
At present, my brushes folder is empty. This has surprised me. There are brushes in gimp

Im using one i found on the internet, but making a brush is easy.
Lots of tutorials around too.
Here is a quick one:
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-vari...ating.html
For more elaborate tutorials try youtube.
Would probably use Inkscape for making the arrow shape heading in different directions, though.
Then import into Gimp and make brushes out if it.
But thats just me and not necessary.
In that tutorial, the simple method, It doe not say how to save the brush so that after leaving gimp and returning, it will still be available as a brush
