Using an older version of Linux with an equally older version of Gimp? Want to update Gimp but find the alternative flatpak / snap versions limited?
At the moment there are excellent portable Gimp 'appimage' versions. Downloadable from the Assets folder here:
https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/
These work by making the file executable and running. More than adequate for occasional use but if you want to create a more permanent version, the appimage can be unpacked. That gives certain advantages, a little more flexibility.
That is the purpose of this demonstration video https://youtu.be/F1epWY5SYn0 duration 8 minutes. Shown in LinuxMint 19
