gimp 2.10.36 appimages with python and mathmap
#12
Hi PixLab, there is probably not much difference between Gimp 2.10.34 and 2.10.36 [Image: smile.png]
and maybe you will get some new hardware soon.

On Xubuntu installing a gimp snap means plugins and scripts go in a sub folder under '$HOME/snap'.
With Firefox I type 'sudo apt install firefox'. It changes that to 'sudo snap install firefox' and copies your firefox profile from the .mozilla directory and puts it into another snap sub-dir. It also doesn't tell you what it did. That is supposed to be progress?

I think changing commands is unethical and they shouldn't do it.

For Gimp on Ubuntu-based distros we have an apt version, a flatpak, a snap and appimages. Canonical seem to be publishing both apt and snap versions of Gimp for 24.04 and it looks like they are not supporting the Gimp-developed flatpak. (or flatpaks generally)

If anyone likes using firefox from an AppImage I now use an 'esr' version from here.
